I switched from Hotmail to Outlook and Inbox is not receiving emails coming into the outlook account
Hi,
I have recently created an email account with outlook.com and now want to make this account the default one in Windows Live Mail on my home computer so I don't need to go to outlook.com to check my emails.
I have been into the account settings and changed the email address from the previous one and also put in the password but it still wont connect to the account. Are there other settings I need to change as well or what am I missing (eg Server details like POP3, incoming mail POP3 and outgoing mail SMTP)?
Any help is much appreciated.
Tony.
I can't go on one of my Outlook account and i really need it how can i do ?
A few months ago, I decided to delete my existing hotmail address and create a new one (my account was hacked). When I entered the settings to do so, I saw that an "alias" could be created. Thinking this would solve my problem and save my existing email address, I created an Alias. However, the next time I attempted to login, it reported that the email does not exist. So, I thought I needed to enter the Alias email to login, but that did not work either. Not having the time to figure it out, I created a brand-new outlook account and notified some friends and family of the new address. The new outlook account never works right (which is totally ridiculous and unacceptable), but that's the next problem I'll tackle. The thought of creating yet another email address with a different vendor is not at all appealing.
My fear is that my old email is actually still valid and receiving emails. But I am not able to access them.
I was hopeful there would be a customer service phone number I could call to discuss. How naive of me!
Can someone help?
Verifying custom domain Outlook account via SMS fails. No verification code is received after a day.
Hi,
I registered custom domain with http://domains.live.com and made all necessary DNS/MX/TXT changes at my registrant. After verification process vas complete it activated my custom domain account and allowed me to crete Emails. So I created for now 2 Email accounts and was able to sign in into these accounts. More I am able to receive Email just fine. But when I try to send an Email it shows following message:
Please verify your account. We've noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked your account.
So I clicked the button Verify which takes me to https://sms.live.com website. There I've entered my US phone number and clicked Next to get the Verification code. It has been a day and I still got nothing. Tried to remove and then add number again without success. And when I click resend verification code I get following error as well: Sorry, we can't do this right now. Please try again later.
So at this point I am stuck and not sure what to do?
Thanks!
