  1. Old E-mail account linked to Microsoft Account Creating Havoc


    I had the same e-mail account for the better part of a decade provided by my ISP MTS/Bell Canada. It was linked to damn near every internet account I had after 30+ years in IT ... many. I changed ISPs, losing access to the original account. I managed to change my Microsoft account to use another account, but the old account stills pops up with Windows not third party applications dialogs occasionally asking for credentials. Even though the old account is no longer visible as linked to any Microsoft account!!!!!This is stopping my from sharing between my laptop and

  2. Rearranging the Order of E-Mail Accounts


    I have six e-mail accounts established in my Windows 10 Mail. It appears the accounts are listed in the order they were created. However, I just had to add another e-mail account and it is at the bottom of the list. Is there any way to rearrange the list? In Windows 8.1 you could move the accounts up and down in the order that you wanted them listed. The procedure used in Windows 8.1 does not work in Windows 10.

    Replacing Microsoft Account Administor E-Mail Address

    Hello,

    I recently changed my e-mail address and then logged into my Microsoft account. The administrator account still shows my old e-mail address under my account name. How to I change my old admin account e-mail address with my new e-mail address?


    Thank you

    Advice needed : New e-mail account

    To add to this.. Many free services "read" your e-mail to deliver targeted advertising. I put read in quotation marks because it's not that group of popular girls from high school snickering to themselves while they read your e-mail, it's a computer. That computer looks for keywords. If it sees "pool" and "barbeque", you're probably going to get ads for lawn chairs and tiki torches. Maybe your e-mail was "Barbeque the bodies in the pool. We can't have the cops find them." Google doesn't know. Google doesn't care.
    In return for this, you get an incredibly secure e-mail account with zero maintenance.

    If you would prefer not to have even Google's computers poke through your messages, you can buy a Google for Work account ($5 a month). Honestly, kind of worth it even for a personal account.
