I want to rename/merge an account. I have an old hotmail account I want to merge with an existing one, that I created using the new outlook address. I didnt find the rename option in hotmail, untill after I created the new account. I want to merge these two, so that my current hotmail will be a alias, and my skydrive storage will become my outlook skydrive, with the same storage. Please help.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    No, you cannot add an already existing Microsoft account address as an alias to a different Microsoft account. You can create a new alias address.

    What is the best method for using both an older Hotmail account and a new outlook.com account?

    Forward on one?

    Can you use an Outlook client and add both accounts?

    This is exactly what I do. Any client would work.
