Windows 10: Changing an address in a email

I have been trying to change one letter on an email address and it won't let me. It keeps trying to send the email with the incorrect address and has locked up my computer. I can't even eliminate the email and start over. Frustrating!

Change of email address

Hi Eddie,

For us to better assist you with this concern with the change in email address, we need to ask a few questions:

• How exactly are you accessing your email account? Is it through a web browser, Microsoft Office or any other mail client?
• How did you change your email address?
• Have you set the new email address as a primary alias?
• Have you removed the old email address if you no longer want to use it?

Looking forward to your reply so we can find the best solution for you.

Thank you.

 

Change of email address

I have received the reply to my question, but not an answer. It was only a couple of questions.



The problem is my wife and I both have Facebook pages. Her Fakebook’s email address is our old email address. I want to change it to our new email address. However, I have used the new email address for my Facebook and it seems as though Facebook
can’t have the same email address for two different Facebooks. That seems to be the reason why I can’t change the email address of her Facebook.



Is that a correct assumption? Please help me over this obstacle.
