I've logged into outlook.com with my old microsoft hotmail account. After this I received an email from the outlook.com team saying you could change your emailadres to @outlook.com and everything would go over to this account without problems, contacts, email, etc would all be going to the new account.

After doing this, my old @hotmail.com cannot be used to logon anymore, I have to use the outlook.com address.

 

Now when I do this in hotmail, everything seems te be fine.Even when I log into my Xbox, it shows the new account in the settings without even having to change anything. But when I do this on Messenger, the online list stays empty.

I see al the address offline in the list.

Other people do not see me coming online and I do not see them online. I've checked this also with my other account.

Will this take time, or is there a bug in the transfer from hotmail.com to outlook.com??

I got a question if i wanted a new address when using outlook.com .. i thought it was an additional address not a replacement. 

I got a mail with link to revert to @live.no, but using the link just gave me the message "Account does not exist"  need my old address back! *** Email address is removed for privacy *** ... Or have i misunderstood, are both addresses active somehow?  

Of course i didnt get any warning that my windowsphone account wouldnt work anymore.. it is stated when going through outlook settings, but i didnt get the message when it asked me to change account name. 

Please help :) 

btw: Outlook.com is an amazing service :) 
Every time I write "i've" or "I'm" in an email the "v" or the "m" suddenly go into upper case and a bell sounds and I'm prevented from continuing to type any more characters.  What's going on?


The address i wanted to use for Hotmail was unavailable when I started using it - but was available for Outlook.Com - so i grabbed it.

Now i'd like all my old hotmail messages (and new ones I get at that address also) to come into the new Outlook accout i just set up.  Is that possible?

I'm looking to test this some more and was wondering if there are POP3 Setting available for the new Outlook.com

Thanks

I upgraded to an @outlook.com email adress today, and seems like I can't connect using the standalone windows live messenger app anymore (I tried my old hotmail.com adress AND the new outlook.com adress).
Every few days we receive all the emails from the last days/weeks/months again, the outlook program also "blocks", you only see the rainbow waiting sign, can't do anything anymore, only turn off the computer with the "on" button. It is outlook mac 2011.

We already used a virus scan (VirusBarrier X6).
We didn't change the settings. The first few months it worked fine.
