Add closed account(email address) to existing account as alias(error: already taken)

Hello. This is Emily.

For the email address you want to free up and merge into another account, is it a Microsoft native domain? Such as hotmail.com, outlook.com, if so, you can never reuse it even after 30 days.

If it’s from a third party domain, if you are not in a hurry then wait 30 days. Otherwise, reopen it, go to alias settings to add a different alias. You would be offered a chance to create an outlook alias. Use that option. Make it primary. Then delete your current email as alias. That will free it up right away for you to add to another account.

 

Microsoft account email alias problem

i changed the alias and removed the default one, so now i have only the new one in the list...the default one that was their is gone

i did not know that removing the default alias would mean i would lose my original email address, because now my original email adress isnt working.

and on top of that, my new alias or should i say new email address isint recieving emails... over 20 years of usuing the same email address and its gone because i thought a alias was just a display name.

 

outlook account config

SO today my friend asked me if i could post this question on the forum:



He wants to configure a outlook account with 1 email, with that outlook account he wants to run the same account in 2 diferent computers he wants the both computer to be connected in network, for example:

• he receives a email and that email is sent to each computer;
• he deletes a email from one computer and it also deletes on the other;
• he moves a email to a folder it also moves on the other computer;

If you guys can help me would be nice!
