    administrator microsoft account management, e-mail account compromised


    So my administrative email account associated with the Microsoft Account has been compromised. I still have password access to the Microsoft account. I attempted to manage my Microsoft account security settings and replace the security information to my updated cell phone number. The current security info via alternate e-mail address is compromised by the same person that has compromised my Administrative email account for Microsoft. I am lucky enough to have the password to get into my Microsoft account but I don't know how long it will last. What can I do to block this person's current access to my account. And from there what can I do to change my account settings to a secure e-mail account? Time is of the essence as I don't know how long I'll have password access to the Microsoft account. Thank you for y'alls time.

    :)

    Replacing Microsoft Account Administor E-Mail Address

    Hello,

    I recently changed my e-mail address and then logged into my Microsoft account. The administrator account still shows my old e-mail address under my account name. How to I change my old admin account e-mail address with my new e-mail address?


    Thank you

    Rearranging the Order of E-Mail Accounts


    I have six e-mail accounts established in my Windows 10 Mail. It appears the accounts are listed in the order they were created. However, I just had to add another e-mail account and it is at the bottom of the list. Is there any way to rearrange the list? In Windows 8.1 you could move the accounts up and down in the order that you wanted them listed. The procedure used in Windows 8.1 does not work in Windows 10.

    Advice needed : New e-mail account

    To add to this.. Many free services "read" your e-mail to deliver targeted advertising. I put read in quotation marks because it's not that group of popular girls from high school snickering to themselves while they read your e-mail, it's a computer. That computer looks for keywords. If it sees "pool" and "barbeque", you're probably going to get ads for lawn chairs and tiki torches. Maybe your e-mail was "Barbeque the bodies in the pool. We can't have the cops find them." Google doesn't know. Google doesn't care.
    In return for this, you get an incredibly secure e-mail account with zero maintenance.

    If you would prefer not to have even Google's computers poke through your messages, you can buy a Google for Work account ($5 a month). Honestly, kind of worth it even for a personal account.
