    When your account USER NAME is an e-mail, what happens when you change e-mail addresses?


    First off, for a company that insists on having an account for Windows, then another account for Office, their support or actually none for the former is pretty bad.


    MS has chosen to have e-mail as a user name, which I'm finding is a bad choice. I have an e-mail from SBC that is not aging well and I need to get off. If I change my "e-mail" address, is that going to screw up my ability to login to my account?

    :)

    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

    Incorrect E-Mail Address

    What should happen when you send an e-mail but you entered the address incorrectly like accidentally misspelling the name? I always assumed that the e-mail would be bounced back to make you aware of this problem. I have now discovered that some e-mail servers are like black holes and they will not reject any e-mails valid or not.
