Windows 10: Locked out of old email account I can't access.

Hi everyoneI had an old email from when I was a teenager but I dont use it anymore. All emails in that account go to my main email now. However, i have some accounts linked with my old email so i want to access my old email and check the verification emails there so that i can change my registered emails on these accounts.

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.

 

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

Old email account is not accessible.

When I get to the "Switch with a local account" the screen asks me to enter my password from my non-accessible email account. It wants to send me a code. How do I access my old email account for this code when that email account doesn't exist anymore?
