I received an email a few days ago saying that my account was compromised because of some unusual activity.  I followed the directions on the email and was sent to a place to verify my account.  All of my info is on there:  my name, my date of birth, aliases etc, but there's no directions as to what to do.  I did change my email password, but I don't see anyway to click to verify my account information.  Now what do I do?  I just bought a computer with Windows 8 and I love certain aspects of it, but now it's shut down my email account from my Windows 8 application and now I don't even receive any email from there.  The last email it displays is from the Outlook team stating they want my account verified.  This is really frustrating.

I did receive a message at one point saying there would be a 30-day hold on the account.  Now I can't do anything from Windows 8.  Ironically, I can access my account via live.com.  The structure is different, but at least I could send out the email I have been trying to send for the last five days and I was able to read my latest incoming emails.  

Now what?
