Windows Live Mail FAQ

Windows Live ID password issues.

17. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: windows live account, windows live family safety, Windows Live ID password issues
I can sign into my Windows Live account.  However, I keep getting a pop-up for Windows Live Family Safety that when I type the password in (that works just fine for my account) will not work.  It just tells me that I have the wrong ID or password.  The same goes for my Window Live Mail.  I have changed my password numerous times hoping that somehow it would work at some point.  I tried again today, only now the two-step process won't work for that either.  I get the code on my cell phone, but when I put that in...it says it is the wrong code.  The same applies when I have the code from an email account (not the Live Mail).  I browsed through the forum and tried going into the control panel - uninstall - double click Windows Live - repair.  Still does not work.

Live mail will not allow me to sign in

I have an email account defined in my Windows Live account.  I've been using Live mail for years.  For some reason yesterday I was unable to sign into Live mail.  I changed the password in the Windows Live account.  Went back to my Live mail and attempted to sign in only to get a message saying either the email account or the password were incorrect.  I've reset the password in my Windows live account several time without an success in accessing my Live mail account.  I am able to sign into Outlook using my email account and password but not the Live mail account????   Any suggestions for this problem?

Unable to fully log into Windows Live account

09. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: windows live account, Windows Phone

Hello,


I have been trying to access my Windows Live account so I can transfer files to a new Windows Phone and have been unable to get anywhere with it. My username and password is accepted, then the prompt says:


"Your account is missing some key info

Before you can continue, you need to provide it. We respect your privacy and will use this information in accordance with our privacy policy."


I provide the info they ask for, click "I accept," and the same page comes up again without the info I typed in. This has happened using both Internet Explorer and Firefox on 2 separate computers running Windows 7 and on the new phone's web browser. After speaking with online support and calling tech support, they haven't been able to help except to say I need to post a question here to get anything done.


What do I need to do at this point in order to fully access my Windows Live account to transfer everything to my new phone so I can mail the old one as a trade-in?



Set up Shentel mail account

I like using windows live mail,  I had no problems with importing Hot mail account and yahoo mail account, but I had hours of problems trying to set up Shentel mail account to be received in windows live.  I never set up a gmail mail account but shentel uses gmail.  IS THERE A CONFLICT WITH WINDOWS LIVE MAIL AND ACCOUNTS USING GMAIL?    I do not know what I did but I deleted the gmail account that was listed on windows live and now, I have lost all that I have done including the windows live account.   Thanks

Recover Windows Live ID

02. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: windows live account, Windows Live ID
Hi, my Lumia 900 got reset when I turned off the phone, and now I lost all my old datas. I want to connect to my old data by signing in to my Windows Live account, but the problem is, I forgot my Windows Live ID. Microsoft offers help for recovering Windows Live password, but not for the user ID. Any help? Or is there any link I can use to contact Microsoft/Windows Live so they can mail me any information or help to recover my account? Thanks.

All of a sudden my Windows Live account will not open. The screen freezes and I get a "not responding" message. Then, I cannot close the window. I tried restarting several times, no success.

Office 365 and Windows Live account clash stopping log in

03. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: Microsoft account, windows live account

Hello,


before the moderator directs me to another similar question, please don't--I've read everything I can see on here and nothing has worked. I've also tried contacting support, and keep getting pushed from support department to support department. I hope someone can help.


I have a Windows Live account - my old Hotmail account. I have an Office 365 account. The email address for my O365 account is setup as an alias for my Windows Live account, and so I logon to both systems using the same email address with different passwords.


All of a sudden (apropos of nothing) my Windows Live login has stopped working. I receive the following error message


You're currently signed in with a Microsoft account as *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, but that account can't be used with Outlook Web App. Please sign out of your Microsoft account, then sign in to Outlook Web App with the account you use to read your organization's email. Click here to sign out. Learn more


I have tried reading widely, logging off everywhere, clearing caches, using InPrivate tabs, different computers ... *everything* ... but still get the same message everytime I try. I can logon to mail.office365.com and those other Office-related services using the Office 365 account details, but that doesn't help me. I have a calendar published to my Windows Live account from Outlook at work, and the inability to logon has stopped that calendar updating ... which is screwing my calendar across all of my devices (including Surface Pro 2 which is otherwise great).


Please help someone...

I am trying to access an old windows live account

29. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: windows live account
I have a windows live account but I haven't used it for years, and I need to access an email through that account but I cannot remember my password, and when I clink on the forgot my password link it brings me to my Microsoft account but it doesn't allow me to reset my password for my old account. How can I reset my password so I can access my live account?

Microsoft Support a joke

I have somehow managed to get locked out of my windows live account as it says that someone else maybe be using my account. I am unable to complete the questionnaire to verify thats it's mine as most of the questions are relating to who I sent an email to and what the subject lines are. I have not sent an email from this account for years so do not have a clue what the subject lines may have been. I don't even care about the emails but I bought a windows phone last year and was told that in order to use it I had to have a windows account. Since I already had a windows account I used my ***********@hotmail.com which then had all my contacts backed up to it. Now my windows phone has broken and I am unable to get any of my contacts due to my windows account being locked.

The email address that they wish to send me a verification code to is no longer in use, it's so old that I dont even know the address and God knows what the mobile phone number they have on file for me is, it's probably one tat I had from my time living in the Netherlands but surely Windows could send me a verification code to my WINDOWS phone that I've had for the past year? Although I cant provide email subject lines I would be more than happy and able to provide many of my contact numbers that are saved on my account. Surely that's even safer? After emailing my problem to Microsoft and requesting support I got an email to say that I would have an answer in 24 hours. After constant checking of my email I finally received an email 30 hours later saying that they had responded to my support request. Their response was to close my case without reply. Very frustrating when I've been waiting for an answer and was under the impression that my case would be looked at by a person who would be able to us common sense. Whats just as frustrating is now I don't even have any more chances to try and complete the questionnaire and just get an email telling me to open a new account. I do not care about the account just my phone numbers.

Can anybody please help me get my phone numbers??
