Help managing multiple accounts (Merge, Link, etc.)

05. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, multiple accounts

I need help managing multiple accounts. Linking accounts sounded great, but apparently that feature was cancelled. I'd like to merge them together, but apparently that isn't a feature Microsoft is interested in creating.

I have a MSN.com account, Live.com account and now an Outlook.com account. On top of that, my Microsoft account is linked to a non-Microsoft email provider.

Ultimately, I'd like to be able to log in to my Microsoft account and see all my IDs or Aliases (or whatever you call them) in one place, be able to send mail from them all, etc., like some other providers do. Unfortunately this seems to be something that Microsoft isn't interested in doing.

Any ideas on how to make management of these accounts easier?

Lost hotmail account

05. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft

When the switch to outlook occurred I had my email account deleted. when I tried to log in Microsoft says email doesn't exist. I have had this email since the beginning of email time, it that all and contains all my contacts and folders with saved emails and business correspondence. my other email address converted over to outlook with no issues however I had my other email attached to that account. not sure if that's how to explain it. I would log in to my email and access the email account from within one account without having to log in separately. as far as the email that no longer exists I was able to create the same email address with the outlook extension which doesn't do me any good since I cant get into the old account to update to my contacts my new address. when I send an email to that address Microsoft says it would automatically be forwarded to the new outlook account. This does not happen when I send an email to that account it goes to cyberspace black hole and who knows where it is. Please help me recover my email and contacts someone out there has to know a way out of this. *** Email address is removed for privacy *** BTW *** Email address is removed for privacy *** was the original account that I lost. I had LINKED that to my *** Email address is removed for privacy *** which is survived the outlook switch. I desperately need help.... PLEASE HELP ME

Attachment downloads apparently from a foreign third party

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft servers, unfortunate result

When I download an attached document in Outlook.com, the browser tells me it is downloading from bay172.afx.ms. This is apparently a website registered in Montserrat (in the Carribean). I don't know what organization AFX is. Or is this the unfortunate result of someone in Microsoft thinking it would be cute to register microsoft servers at a country that has a code with the same two letters as an abbreviation for Microsoft? If so, it seems like poor security practice, since the domain, and probably DNS servers, would be operated by a foreign entity, and could be redirected to another location. Thanks for your help from anyone who might know about this. - John

My emails are getting deleted by themselves. NO SENT EMAILS??

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: major problems, microsoft

I hope someone can help me

I hate the fact that Microsoft is deleting old emails. I am also having major problems now trying to find IMPORTANT emails that were sent. As Microsoft deleted I went to my sent folder. I have no emails listed as sent since the 14th of August 2013.

I use this account daily for business as well as pleasure, there is no way that I have not emailed anyone since August.

I need a particular email that was sent. I tried using the search as well to no avail.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix this problem.

Much appreciated!

Microsoft account emails still linked; billing information from my main account CC’d to secondary account

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, secondary account

A few years ago, I unlinked my two Microsoft accounts. The one I'm currently using to write this question is my primary account, while a secondary account was unlinked from it. Since then, Microsoft has obviously stopped offering linked accounts, but I'm still receiving personal information sent to my secondary account (it's CC'd on all my billing emails for Windows Phone and Windows Store app purchases, for instance, as well as Xbox Live renewals).

I have tried everything I can to unlink the accounts completely, but nothing has solved the issue. My emails are not forwarded, and there are no options in Outlook.com's settings or Microsoft Account management settings that will let me resolve the issue. I have called Microsoft and done live chatting, but every time I'm told it's not possible for the person on the other end of the conversation to resolve the issue.

I want my accounts unlinked completely. This is essentially my last option, and I was referred here by the live-chat support individual.

CONTA PLUS OUTLOOK.COM

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Apple, microsoft

A Microsoft continua a brincar com o fogo, esquecendo-se de que - tal como a Apple e os seus miseráveis iPhone's - há sempre alternativas melhores. E mais fiáveis e avançadas tecnologicamente!

Eu tenho uma conta OUTLOOK/HOTMAIL PLUS, pagando anualmente uma assinatura.

Que nem sei para o que serve agora, pois todas as contas gratuitas também não têm publicidade e possuem a mesma capacidade para enviar anexos (infinitamente menos que nas contas - sempre GRATUITAS - do Gmail). O problema é a divulgação do endereço de e-mail pelos quatro cantos do mundo.

O CASO:

Estive a tentar enviar um e-mail (apenas texto, sem anexos), com muita urgência´(para um Hospital), e tive de fazer mais de 10 tentativas para ele seguir!

Estava sempre a aparecer uma mensagem de problema com o acesso ao Outlook.com e nem sequer eu podia Guardar Rascunho, para envi se o problema ficasse resolvido. Ou pelo menos que me permitisse copiar elementos chave do texto (nome de medicamentos, procedimentos médicos, etc).

Para meu espanto, quando fui espreitar ao sítio indicado por uma indicação de link, estava lá que o funcionamento do Outlook estava correto!Correto uma treta!

A quem posso apresentar uma QUEIXA formal sobre estas casos sempre repetidos?

EU TENHO - REPITO - UMA CONTA PLUS!

Strange Occurrence in Microsoft Accounts

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft Outlook, setup

Hello everyone,

I have discovered something very strange in setting up two Microsoft accounts. It is as follows:

I have two Microsoft Outlook accounts or Microsoft accounts - *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I setup my Windows 8.1 pc with *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and the mail app was able to sync with the webmail and all was fine. I decided to setup *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as my other email account and thus tried to set it up through the mail app but it refused to do so 100 out of 100 times. It said "We are unable to find settings for *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Please provide additional info and we'll try connecting again." It never worked anyway.

So I tried setting up another user account on my pc with *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and it worked perfectly well in that new user account. Now, here I tried to setup *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as my other email account in the mail app and it gave the same error in this account. "We are unable to find settings for *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Please provide additional info and we'll try connecting again."

How is it that each of these user accounts could be setup as separate user accounts but not as just another email address? This absolutely baffles my mind. Does this mean that we can setup only one Microsoft account/email account on one Windows 8.1 pc? That obviously doesn't make any sense. If someone can give me an answer, I would be very grateful to that person.

Thank you very much.

Ever since Microsoft tried to make me enter a code I have been getting problem after problem at one point I lost all access to my computer and had to call HP at a price to get it all back. I had no emails but Microsoft wanted to email me the code???? then it all went down. I have my email back now but can not send any or do reply has any one else been asked to enter a security code and if so had the same sort of problems. Microsoft would not help me via phone at all. thank god for HP.

I received an email from someone I don’t know and it asked me to add the sender in my contact list

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: contact list, microsoft

My Outlook account received a message from someone I didn't even at to my contact list yet, and THEN asked if I wanted to add that contact. Why. I thought there was supposed be an agreement to share emails or invite someone to your contact list first. What's changed? I sent screen shots to Microsoft and I hope Microsoft will address my concerns better than these forums. The questions just keep going around in circles and Windows keeps obsoleting everything the users rely on.
