Windows 10: My hotmail email on some sites says not valid email

On some websites my hotmail email is nor recognised says invalid email address

Email Question

hotmail is full of security risks, accounts get stolen there all the time.

yahoo has a useless spam filter, almost as bad as hotmail - tons of spam gets in, but at least legit emails dont end up in the spambox.

gmail never screws up between real emails and spam, and seems to 'just work' - it was also first (dunno if anyones copied it) to have a 'real time' email system, so new emails just appear in there, you dont have to refresh or click anything to see if new emails have appeared... making email notification programs useless.. just leave the gmail tab open in your browser.

 

Spam in my email... how do I stop it?

Right you are mrsemi....I use hotmail on the forums and only really go to two forums. TPU and AnandTech. I get all the Viagra, Penis Enlargement, Pain Meds, Lasik Eye surgery, even friggin Facebook,(wouldn't go there if they paid me) the list is endless. I keep putting in the domain address to block senders (my blocked domain list is as long as your arm) the spammers just change the address and I keep getting the same crap. *Frown

I disagree with this. While it may work, it also confirms to the spammer they got your attention and they have an active email address which may turn off that site (if you're lucky) but then can be passed on to people who buy those lists for additional spammage through different sites & email addresses.

Blocking users won't do any good, hotmail does a pretty good job of filtering but it just forces the spammers to change email addresses all the time.
