Hi all,
I'm a new and happy WP user and a returning Windows 8 desktop user for home, I've been using W7 on my business computer before that.
I'm not certain if I'm posting the right post in the right thread, but I seem to face an unbeatable conflict between my @outlook.com and Microsoft account and I can't seem to find the answer.
Short story, I created an @outlook.com when it came out, then recently when I acquired my WP phone and W8 desktop, I created a Microsoft account using a private email address.
On my WP phone if I send a mail from Outlook, the recipient will see it sent from my @outlook address.
If I send it from the Outlook web interface, it will always use my private address as reply-to and there's no way I can add my Outlook address as alias of my MS account. If I try add it by selecting "choose an existing address", select @outlook.com from the drop-down and entering my address, it tells me that this account is already existing and I should select another one.
Well, of course it is already existing and that's the point, I want to use it! I'm quite baffled at the complexity of having Outlook.com send your emails from your Outlook address instead of your private address. I wonder if anyone ever fixed this? MS solutions don't provide answers to this...
Again, sorry if this does not belong here...
Cheers,
Alex
