Very disappointing. All we ask is a phone number to contact somebody and they refuse to give one out.

i can't receive any emails to my inbox to my primary acct or alias addresses.

checked the rules and no special rules are set up and no spam filters are set up.

i can mail from the account fine.

just nothing shows up in the inbox.

NOT Helpful.

I spent some very scarce funds to get a new lightweight laptop. It has the horrible new operating system on it, Windows 10.  To set it up, it forced me to create a Hotmail account, which I neither needed nor wanted.  It then proceeded to lock me out of my new computer before I'd even gotten to do any work on it.

In attempting to find an online answer as to how to solve this BUG (NOT a FEATURE, friends.), It insisted on my inputting a list of "applications you have used recently."  As I have NOT used any of the ones listed, it just kept looping me back through the same ridiculously un-thought-out screen. A big PHOOEY to Microsoft.
