How to add alias email address when account email address is no longer accessible?

I am trying to access my daughter’s Microsoft account (Minecraft related issue) to add an alias email address as the email address associated with the Microsoft account is no longer accessible.

I can access the Microsoft account ok, but the problem occurs when trying to add the alias email address. This starts a loom loop where I need to verify the account by email that I no longer have access to.

How can I get around this infuriating set of circumstances?!

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.
