    How to link accounts when you don't have access to the old email address


    I received a response but didn't get a chance to reply to it before it closed for a prior question about my Microsoft MCP XP Certification. I was told I need to link my old email address but I am unable to do so because I no longer have access to that account. How can I link the two?

    :)

    old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,

    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 link accounts when you don't have access to the old email address

    Old email account is not accessible.

    No. The email address I used to set up my Microsoft account is now gone, not accessible, no longer exists.

    I have a new email address.

    I want my new email address to replace the old email address.
