On June 22 I received an email from "Microsoft Outlook.com", specifically: "Admin Desk • ******@live.ca" stating: "We are closing all old versions of our Mailbox as from June 23rd, Please follow the attached below to update .
Before upgrading your account, please ensure that your password is correct.
Failure to verify your account with the Microsoft Update Attached File."

Please tell me if this is legitimate?! Thank you.

    Thank you. I don't see a place to change my password on the phone...only to change the microsoft info/ password. I will need to go to a library computer.

    Thank you Raech. I just did it. I keep this account as my main one and do not log in each time to access emails when I get notifications. Is this ok?

    Yes that would be okay. To keep your account active, you only need to sign in to the account at least once in a one-year period.

    Thank you. I meant that if I keep the account open on the phone, can it be accessed with the new password?
