Windows 10: I can’t retrieve my email on hotmail and I don’t remember my secondary email on yahoo ....

Hello I have been trying to retrieve my email on hotmail but unfortunately it’s stuck . Nothing is working . Please help me get the option to reset my password on the different email than the one I provided because I don’t remember the one on yahoo and its not giving me other options . How long does it take ?

Lots Of Daily Spam Emails

I also use Hotmail and have been inundated with Spam emails since day 1.
Last year I joined Windows 10 Insider and created a Microsoft account using Hotmail to do so.
Along the way I was notified that my original Hotmail account would be updated as part of their process and that did happen.
This Aug I had 200 Spam emails in my Hotmail account, 0 between 2 Yahoo email accounts.
This Sep I had “only” 71 Spam emails in my Hotmail account, 0 between both Yahoo email accounts.
Between last year and this Aug, I have no idea how many Spam emails were being received in Hotmail; all I recall is frustratingly emptying the Junk Email folder.
I never responded to any of them and just about every topic that can be included in Spam emails were brought up. Eventually I found out it’s supposed to be possible to block them in my Manage My Microsoft Account where I can View My Inbox; it didn’t help.
I asked for help in the Microsoft Community; they wanted to be helpful but were not successful in providing a resolution.
Unfortunately even though I wanted to participate in the Windows 10 Insider Program I didn’t. I paid attention to it and it has done me very well but I did not want to create a mailing list in my Microsoft account.
I don’t expect a resolution to the Spam emails but wanted to share my story.

 

Yahoo / at&t webmail

Don't think there is one, but you can tick this box to select all in your Inbox.....





...untick all the ones you want to keep, then click the Delete icon.





They will be moved to the Deleted items folder which periodically empties automatically. If you deleted something you need you can move it back to the inbox (if you don't wait too long).



Or you could just leave it alone. it's not as if you'll need the space any time soon....

 

Email Question

hotmail is full of security risks, accounts get stolen there all the time.

yahoo has a useless spam filter, almost as bad as hotmail - tons of spam gets in, but at least legit emails dont end up in the spambox.

gmail never screws up between real emails and spam, and seems to 'just work' - it was also first (dunno if anyones copied it) to have a 'real time' email system, so new emails just appear in there, you dont have to refresh or click anything to see if new emails have appeared... making email notification programs useless.. just leave the gmail tab open in your browser.
