I tried to change my primary alias from my old hotmail.com alias to my outlook.com alias.  Once I did this I could not access any of my email.  I keep getting the error message "We're updating your inbox Please wait a few minutes and then try again."   I have been waiting HOURS!!!

I cannot get to my email from any of my devices - 2 laptops, 1 iPhone, 1 Kindle Fire.  I have cleared the cache on each of my laptops -- still does not work.  I have tried accessing my email from IE10, Google Chrome and Firefox -- still does not work!

Then I changed my primary alias back to my hotmail.com email address -- still will not work -- keep getting the same error message.  Cleared the cache again,  tried with other devices and other browsers -- still no luck!

I never had these kinds of problems when I used gmail as my primary email.  I changed back to MS because I could get an email address at outlook.com that was better suited to my business.  I have had repeated problems with hotmail & outlook.

Clearly from the posts this is a very common problem -- you should provide a warning when someone tries to make this change!!!

I am a small business person -- I cannot afford to have a problem accessing my email -- I will lose clients!!!  

Need help!!!
