I need help with an Email I received supposedly from Microsoft but I am a bit sceptical about the validity of it. Could you please advise if this is Genuine. Below is a copy of the body of the mail:

Merging Microsoft Accounts

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: current accounts, microsoft

Hello,

The short question is that I have two Microsoft accounts, each with some of my services, which I would like to combine (as best as possible) into one login. I realize that there is no merge accounts feature at this time, but previous threads have suggested linking accounts which I believe if also no long available. My current accounts are as follows:

#1 - associated with a GMail email

- logging in to Windows

- Office 365 subscription

- SkyDrive files

#2 - associated with an Outlook.com email

- email, contacts, calendar

I would like to get mostly the Office 365 permissions and SkyDrive over from #1 to #2, with the goal of exclusively using account #2. If anyone could provide me with information about what the current best way to do this is, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

Eric

Inbox has been deleted by Microsoft

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: inbox, microsoft

I woke up this morning to check my email and saw that my Inbox had been deleted. Does anyone know a possible contact email at Microsoft to see if I can get the Inbox restored?

The emails from the Inbox have been completely removed - they are not in the deleted items folder or any other folder.

Thanks.

Syncing error

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, SkyDrive

Dear Microsoft

I am using skydrive on Surface RT and I have a syncing error with office 2013. Just 4 days ago, I noticed that every time I saved my document, the ribbon bar no longer says uploading to skydrive but rather says word is now saving document. Office also requires me to sign in every single time I open a skydrive document. I thought my account was hacked to I changed my Microsoft account password. Because of this error, my documents are no longer synced with my home desktop computer. Please help me find a solution to this. It was perfectly fine before 4 days ago.

Help to retrieve blocked account

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: email account, microsoft

I need desperate help on how to retrieve my blocked account.

My email account is blocked and despite several attempt to provide the information required to recover it, Microsoft repeatly sent an email the information provided is not sufficient. And now even suggest I create a new Hotmail account.

My email account was created like donkey years ago, and since then, I didn't use my actual name and more of nickname to my account. some of the information provided are not really accurate. Which makes the recovery process difficult (a slap on my face on this for not updating!)

I have some important folders created and stored many important information over many years.

I have all my previous MSN contacts, all my flight details and itinerary for the coming trips, and a lot more work related information that I need to access.

Now its ALL GONE or cannot access! I am really helpless now!

I was told to create a new Hotmail account which I just did, but is there a way to import everything to my new account?

Can I show proof of last 30 messages I received on my iphone to prove the account is mine?

What is the email of Microsoft or anyone I can speak to regarding this? I can let the person know what kind of emails I been receiving daily as proof.

HELP! I am desperate. Need my account back.

Can anyone advise me what to do? I need those information back.

Please help! Appreciate your time on this.

Thank you

Deactivate Outlook

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: deactivate, Deactivate email, microsoft

I activated Outlook.com for email. I do not like it and want to deactivate email ONLY. When I click "close account" it threatens to close my entire Microsoft account which deletes my Xbox Live and all other Microsoft related services. I DO NOT want to delete all of this and just want to deactivate the outlook.com email. Microsoft didn't even know how to do this and directed me here...anyone....help?

Cannot send outlook emails with a file attachment

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: internet explorer, microsoft, Microsoft word, Outlook Email

I recently cannot attach some files (not a photo file but a file like Microsoft software file e.g. Microsoft Word or Excel and PDF files) to my outlook email when trying to send an email with an attached document. As soon as I add the attachment to the email, there is a problem between outlook and internet explorer and the email program in outlook is closed by Internet Explorer and I lose the email that I am drafting. I now have to be sending attached files from my other email accounts and not from outlook or my hotmail account which is very inconvenient. Please fix this problem immediately for Outlook users with Internet Explorer 10.

Thanks in advance Patricia

I’m not receiving incoming emails! :(

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: incoming emails, microsoft

Hi,

I had issues last week where I didn't receive incoming emails for approx. 4 days. I checked all the settings and suggestions from Microsoft and changed password etc etc. I did then receive a few emails for a day or so, but am again no longer receiving emails since Tuesday! Don't know what is going on but am very frustrated as am missing important emails. I have also put the email forwarding on to an alternative email but they are not arriving there either! I can send emails and other people receive them. I have sent myself tests as have other people but they don't come through. I have done everything except reboot my phone but it seems to be a Hotmail issue rather than phone issue as I've also tried on my netbook. It will sync but no emails will come through. Hope someone can help as I've had this email account for 10 years.

Two stage security to sign in to Outlook.

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: foreign country, microsoft, security code

When I am away from home, particularly in a foreign country, I have been unable to receive Microsoft assigned number security code, as it is sent to my home number, or an alternate email address, neither of which work, and I do not want to have the code sent this way, nor to a mobile phone, or other phone number.

I need an alternate method of identification, such as my birthdate, or a previously agreed to numerical code I could enter. How do I set up that option?

missing email after outlook.com migration + bouncing emails

25. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft

Since microsoft changed my emails from hotmail to outlook, my emails are bouncing back as folks try to email me on hotmail.com

Also when i logged in, all my emails were missing

I am finding it impossible to connect with anyone in Microsoft to solve this issue for me. Hopefully, someone can guide me as to how to reach microsoft and figure out why they have messed up my account?
