You can seriously
Hi Paul
I guess my ignorance of modern mail accounts like Outlook etc isn't
helping. Its all a mystery to me. I also think it assumes you have a
working knowledge of mobile phones and laptop stuff I guess. When I
entered my details to Microsoft I wasn't aware it was creating a Windows
account. Saying that I have used the correct email account for sending
me mail. Trouble is there is one account for the computer and that is a
Windows account which I can sign into cus its the computer login but it
wont let me do anything cus I need a verification email which will not
arrive and to send an email to Microsoft I need to login from the
account and I cant.
This is the thing. In the email settings for mail and not the Windows
account, if that makes sense there is another entry for that email
address which for some reason says its an Outlook account. No idea how
that was created as I only use Thunderbird and am sure I never set up an
Outlook account. My only thought is that during the setting up of this
machine there was a process that I just clicked next and it had
something about mail on there and use an Outlook account. Whether there
is an Outlook account email or something I have no idea. I don't have an
Outlook account so I would have thought it would have flagged that up.
Can't believe they are sending an email in the account that ends in
btinternet.com to an Outlook account. They surely can't be that dim.
As ever I appreciate its probably something I have done. Just so
frustrating. Not a problem I guess until I need to login to my Windows
10 account. Interestingly, or not, its why I never used the XBOX cus
they linked the whole console to my computer by use of a Windows Live
account. I never got that issue with the PS as they controlled
everything and communicated generally only on the PS.
I am in the throws of diagnosing issues with the Windows 7 machine and
see next
