Windows 10: Account email troubles

A while ago, I made a post on the form when I deleted my Microsoft account while still logged in with it on my PC and there were many troubles with that- I just converted it to a local account and I later ended up changing my current Microsoft account's email to the account I deleted's email. aka my main account now has the email that was attached to the deleted one. I removed the old email address, *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and added the new email address *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.


The photo shows only one email attached to my account:




---------------------------------------------------------------------

However, when I go to log into my account, I get this message:


I requested that this email be removed from my account?

I do actually get the account verification email, if I log into my old email so if my old email account got hacked and I tried to change it,

the hackers would still get access to all my data
Every once in a while, when I go to view something for my account settings even on account.microsoft.com, it refers to me as my old email account.

How to fix this?


...and I'm not sure if this is related, but if I run "netplwiz" on my laptop and change my user name and last name, next time I log in, they'll be erased and it'll refer to me as my email account instead. This is not the case with other local accounts.

Any help/info would be appreciated.

let me know if I'm just being stupid

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

Don't think you can if they were deleted from your email account and are not in your trash folder. Try contacting Yahoo, explain what happened, and see what they can do or suggest you do.
