Unable to change account email

27. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Microsoft account

Hi everyone,

Trying to change my Microsoft account's primary email address, and it's not going very well. Hoping someone here can help.

I currently use an old Ontera email address to log into my Microsoft accounts. That address isn't active anymore, so i'd like to switch it out and use my current Gmail address for login/communication purposes. It's to my understanding that I need to change the account's alias to the Gmail address, drop the Ontera address, and put the Gmail as primary. When I go to add the new Gmail alias, I get the following message: "This email address is already taken. Please try another." That tells me I have already used the Gmail address to make a Windows account, which I don't recall doing.

Any attempts to login with the Gmail address give me an error saying: "That Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different email address or get a new account." If I attempt to reset the password for the Gmail address, I get this: "The Microsoft account is incorrect. Please try again." If I try to create a new account using the Gmail address it tells me that it's unavailable.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a genuine issue going on here somewhere?

Also for what it's worth, I did something to the security info and when I click on it I get this:

"You recently updated your security info

We have a waiting period for the updates to take effect. On 9/26/2013, we'll delete your old security info:

BLANK

Once this is deleted, you'll be able to verify your account with info you have access to. If you didn't make the updates, or if you still have access to the above info, cancel the updates."

Honestly not sure what that means, but I must've done something while trying to figure out the address login issue.

Cannot stop Outlook.com emails being forwarded to Gmail.com

25. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Microsoft account, trueswitch

My Outlook.com emails are being forwarded to Gmail.com account. Need help in stopping this.

Few days back after switching from Hotmail.com to Outlook.com, I decided to 'add an alias'.

https://account.live.com/AddAssocId

I chose 'Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias' and added my Gmail.com email id as an alias. It then redirected me to 'Trueswitch.com' page where I entered all the required details. Since then all emails are being forwarded to my gmail email account as soon as they arrive in my Outlook.com email account. I want to stop these emails being forwarded to Gmail now. Please suggest.

What I already tried:

1. Checked 'Outlook.com Inbox>Options>Email forwarding' in 'More mail settings'. I have not set up email forwarding there.

2. Checked 'Gmail.com > Settings > Accounts >Check mail from other accounts (using POP3)'. I have not setup checking email from other accounts via POP in Gmail.

3. Removed my Gmail.com alias from Outlook.com.

4. Contacted Trueswitch. They asked me to change the passwords of both my gmail and Outlook.com account. Didnt help. Emails are still being forwarded to Gmail.

5. Trueswitch finally asked me to contact Microsoft support, as Trueswitch is now shut and provide minimal support.

Gmail Error 1026

24. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Gmail, Gmail Account, Google Website

I tried to send a large file via a Gmail account and received the error, "[ALERT] Message too large. http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=8770" It is called Error 1026.

I deleted the message in my Outbox, later tried on my Live.com account and had the same issue. Deleted that one as well. Later I had success after breaking the file into smaller chunks.

The problem is that I keep getting the error. I thought that perhaps the file had left the "Front End" of Outlook and was stuck somewhere in Gemail, so I opened up Gmail directly through a browser, but the email was no where to be found.

So it appears I'm getting the message (every 2 to 3 minutes) though I've deleted the offending message. A post on the Google Website said a solution was to delete the Gmail Account in Outlook and put it back in again, but I'm not sure if that means I'll lose my messages or not or what any other implications might be. It also claimed this was a bug (oops, sorry, Microsoft....an "undocumented feature") in Outlook 2011 for the Mac.

So, IS this the solution? And if so, what will the implications be if I delete the account and reinstall it?

And when will Microsoft and Google learn to play together?

Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Outlook right now

21. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, outlook profile

Hi,

I have 2 different @gmail accounts added to my @outlook profile, and one of them has recently stopped receiving messages.

I go into <Inbox -> Options -> Your email accounts> and see the following:

Account1 (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

Account2 (on behalf of *** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

I can then select Details > Edit for Account1 without any issues.

When I go to Details > Edit for Account 2, the error 'Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Outlook right now' comes up.

I am hesitant to remove Account2, because according to the system it may take a long time to re-add it, and there may be duplicate messages as a result.

The error appears on IE8 and IE9 on 3 different PC's.

Any help would be appreciated.

Help, I can’t stop getting Hotmail messages in Gmail

20. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, hotmail messages

I have clicked on Don't forward and removed the email address that received forwarding but Hotmail messages are still going to my Gmail account? What else can I do to stop the forwarding?

Migration from Gmail to Outlook

20. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Outlook account

Hi community,

I'm good with computers, but not great, and I would like to ask for some help.

I recently found out that Google uses my Gmail inbox to tailor my search results and I really don't like that, so I want to switch to Outlook. The problem is, since I have a Window's Phone 8 I already created an Outlook account using my Gmail address. As far as I can tell, Outlook will only read my Gmail but there is no Outlook address from which I can start sending new emails from. So, to fix this I created an Outlook account with the username that I desire but am unable to add my Gmail alias to it because it is already technically taken. I thought I had deleted my current Outlook domain name but it still hasn't come down and I can still login to it after 24 hours have passed; is that normal?

To further complicate everything, my phone and all other services that require a Microsoft account are using my Gmail/Outlook hybrid account and I'd really prefer to not delete that account and have to reassign my services to my new account (I also make use of Skydrive and am not sure how that transfer would work).

What I'd like is for my new Outlook account (which I already created with the domain name I'd like) to run everything, so that I can import all my Gmail email and then have it forward the rest as I gradually inform all of my contacts (people and companies) that I have changed addresses. Is that possible?

I have read articles telling people how to switch to Outlook from Gmail (especially because Gmail was planning on making WP8 incompatible with their servers) but that never applied to me because I had linked the accounts before the deadline (which I believe has been postponed again).

I'd really appreciate any help, or being pointed in the right direction, as the help articles I find don't seem to have this particular scenario.

Thank you very much,

Karl.

P.S. Does Google intercept and store my email information as soon as it gets it or does it scan it when I'm searching for something? Would this make forwarding email pointless? If it stores my information, is there a way to clear their cache?

Completely migrate my Gmail to Outlook.com

16. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, google

I'm thinking of migrating from Gmail (and other Google services) to Outlook.com, but I'm not sure how I should handle this.

Currently I have one mail address at Outlook.com of which it's mail is moved using POP3 to Gmail (mostly for legacy reasons, it hasn't been my main address since ~2007 and was pretty much only used for WLM after that).

I sync my Google mail, contacts and calendar (which I don't want to transfer one by one, by the way) to my Windows Phone.

I want to turn this all around. My mail, contacts and calendar should all be stored on Outlook and my mail should be fetched from Gmail and imported into Outlook.

How should I get around to doing this?

On the Windows Phone side it's just tapping a few checkboxes but on the Outlook side (especially contacts and calendar) it looks all complicated.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Changing email address on my Microsoft account or transferring content from my old one to my new one.

15. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Gmail, Microsoft account, windows live account

Hi there.

Due to Google dropping support for active sync with gmail I have had to change my email address from a gmail.cm account to outlook.com to receive push notifications on my iOS based devices.

Currently my windows live account that is used for Xbox, games for Windows live, Skydrive, Windows 8 and various other services is registered to my gmail address. What I would like to do is be able to change the email address associated with this account to my new outlook.com address or be able to transfer any content or licenses from my old account to the new one.

Following are the services I am most interested in transferring/keeping.

Games for Windows live licenses

Xbox Live account data and licenses

Skydrive Data

Windows 8 sync info

It would be nice to have everything as single sign on again as opposed to needing to use my outlook.com account for email/contacts/calendars and my old gmail.com based Microsoft account for GFWL, Xbox Live, Skydrive and Windows 8 sync.

Thanks for your time and effort.
