    If you removed an outlook.com alias

    You can add it back. See the Answer by "Hornblower409 Aug 11, 2026" in

    If it was an hotmail.com, msn.com, or live.com alias.

    I'm sorry. It is gone. This is a huge hole in Microsoft Account Security that many, people have fallen into. I realize that this will be of no help to you, but to perhaps keep someone else from falling into this same hole, I suggest that you Vote for and Comment on this Feature Request.
