ok, I created a Microsoft account last year. The email address I used during registration has been compromised with occasional spam, too much spam to simply create filters set to "delete any messages from that particular sender address"; mainly because there is a new spam message every week from a new spam email address.
My solution was simple, I would move to a new email address and eventually delete the old one. I'm almost there, until today...
My Microsoft account was updated to my new email address, months ago. I want to keep this account because I have purchased the Office suit with it (Word, Excel, etc...), so it is tied to this account. I even downloaded the Office suit AFTER changing my email address over (new computer), and had no activation problems.
The part I do not understand, today I purchased a Windows Phone app, and received a billing confirmation email that was delivered to my OLD email address. I signed into my Microsoft Account and I can not find the OLD email address anywhere (because I deleted it).
Going into my Lumia 520's phone > Settings > email+accounts: My NEW email address is listed
What am I doing wrong? Or maybe is Microsoft simply disorganized somehow, because I can't find my OLD address listed on my phone or Microsoft Account. :straight:
