    how to add existing email account to windows 10.


    I'm unable to add my existing *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account to my Windows 10 emails. I get to a box that says "that account already exists" and can go no further. Any ideas?

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown how to add existing email account to windows 10. :(

    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.

    how to add existing email account to windows 10.

    Email account already exists

    Hi,

    There's a lot of possible reasons why this issue occurred. To
    isolate the issue, we have some questions for you:


    • On what application are you trying to re-add your account?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We suggest that you perform a
    clean boot
    and try adding your email account again. It is possible that the email account was saved from the background that is causing the error message to appear.

    Note:
    Reset the computer back to
    Normal Mode
    once you are done with the troubleshooting by following the section
    "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
    from the same article.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
