  1. Change of Email address


    Hi, I am totally confused. One month ago, I attempted to change my email address (because I am probably going to change my ISP) to a Google address. I was notified that it would take one month. Today I was notified that it had been changed (unfortunately to the wrong address). My password no longer works. However, I noticed that I can still use the old email address and the password. I am wondering what is wrong with Microsoft and why it is not possible to just simply change an email address (which was my Microsoft ID). Confuseduser

    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.

    I have received the reply to my question, but not an answer. It was only a couple of questions.



    The problem is my wife and I both have Facebook pages. Her Fakebook’s email address is our old email address. I want to change it to our new email address. However, I have used the new email address for my Facebook and it seems as though Facebook
    can’t have the same email address for two different Facebooks. That seems to be the reason why I can’t change the email address of her Facebook.



    Is that a correct assumption? Please help me over this obstacle.
