Hi,

I have the same issue as many people started to report as far as a year ago.

I have Outlook.com account. I have my own domain registered with the account.  it is (remove random characters between letters)

S.M_A-R*T
 (
)
C&Aa#R%E^E~R
dot
C-A

I am trying to add a new email address ( a new account) and I already ordered a lot of business cards.

It does not allow me to do that, the error message says:

"That account name is not allowed for use with this service."

I use a simple short one-word legitimate first name. nothing fancy.

It is not working, could anyone please help me.

Thank you.

Also i am just curious, this problem appeared more than a year ago and was known to Microsoft. What's up with that - does it really take that lonk to figure it out?

Thank you in advance anyway, hope i won't have to wait for more than two months as someone else did.
