  1. Email address


    Just powered up a laptop which has been on the shelf. It is using a Hotmail address which is no longer valid and I can't seem to change it. How do I change it to a current address?

    :)

    Additional email addresses

    You are talking about two totally different things, contacts versus predictive text input in mail client.

    In most email clients, like Windows Mail, when you start typing an address in TO, CC or BCC fields, the client does not pick the addresses suggested from your contacts. Instead, it suggests addresses you have sent email earlier, or addresses of those who have sent email to you.

    If I now sent you an email, and you replied to it, next time when you write an email to someone whose address starts with K, my email address would be one of the suggested to you although I am not in your contacts.

  3. How to delete an incorrect email address showing in profile history

    The YouTube video does not work on a Windows phone. I tried to follow the steps but the email address still shows in the auto-complete(suggest) list when I start typing the to address. The only way I was able to get rid of the address was to "hard" reset
    the phone. Which was painfull in getting it set back up the way I wanted to.
