I have a new ASUS tablet....as my first attempt at Windows 8.

I setup my windows account using my earthlink  email account....

Because this is POP email...I could not access it through the mail program on the front end.

I needed to add this account to my outlook.com account...but it still would not work as I needed a outlook.com email address.

I created a new alias with an outlook.com extension...and made it primary....and everything worked fine.

The windows 8 email program pulled my email over fine...from even the aliased account with POP.

But then when in outlook.com looking at accounts...I accidently took the outlook.com extension email address off of the primary alias and back to the old one.

It no longer works...and when I try and switch it back...it tells me I cant do this very often as MS limits this....

Why? And how can I go back????
