Find my phone after email change

Does anyone know if after changing the phone microsoft account (email), you can still track your phone from find my phone with the old address?

If you changed the primary to the new address and deleted the old one, no. You get "account does not exist" error. I just checked.

Re: Find my phone after email change

The original email address was not deleted, the issue is this.

The phone was stolen, and obviously, find my phone won't work with the phone turned off or without internet. Now a few days has passed and the phone is probably already factory reseted with a new email address. The question is about to know if I should keep trying to make find my phone work or not, if it will work even if the phone now has a different email address, once it gets internet.
