My MS ID is (removed). So I created an email account in WP8 using the POP mail type account. Later, I added an alias, (Removed), to the MS ID above. Then I added another email account in WP8 using the Outlook type for this alias. Afterwards, I could see email going first to my POP email tile, then going to the Outlook tile. When I tap the POP mail tile, there aren't any emails as everything has gone over to the Outlook mail account.
So, I thought, if the POP mail account gets email first, why do I need the Outlook account? So I tried to delete the Outlook account on the phone but couldn't find a delete button. So then I just unchecked the sync box to "disable" the Outlook account.
And that's when the trouble began. The POP mail account still receives email, but continues to be cleared out. On my W8.1 laptop, I continue to receive email so I know there's incoming mail. HOWEVER, the (Removed) email account isn't visible in my app list. If I try to add it, the phone says the account already exists in my app list.
Anybody know of this or how to fix this short of a full reset? TIA
