Windows 10: Can't get Microsoft to accept new email address rather than one that I can on longer access

I can't buy a Microsoft DVD player because it says that this request is a high security request and requires me to provide the password to go forward.

Problem is that the email that it requests the password for is no longer one that I have access to. I've updated my email address for Microsoft but it insists on using my old one for security access.

Mail App: Removing drop down email address suggestions


I'm not a big fan of the MS Mail program and don't really use it for serious stuff but somehow or other if I create a new email then as I start to enter the recipients address a whole load of suggestions will appear. I don't have any contacts in the People app so I'm not sure where these come from.

The question is how can I clear this list so that I no longer get the suggestions?

Thanks

 

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.
