  1. Email from microsoft for account verification not being received by my mail server


    Whenever I try to verify my email as required by Microsoft for long time existing email accounts, I do not receive the email. I have two accounts affected by this - *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** and *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***. In both cases, I suspect it is because my email name has a hyphen '-' in it.

    I have reviewed the mail server logs, and there is no indication any mail server from Microsoft even attempted to contact my mail server. I can send email to both accounts from other mail apps including using Microsoft email accounts and receive all such communication - except for account verification email. There are no emails that have been sent to 'spam' or 'junk' that are from Microsoft.

    My email address is valid, and in the past I have received email from Microsoft to those email addresses for verification and service updates. This problem has been happening for about 3 or 4 months now since my Skype account got 'deactivated; after trying to sign back in after a reboot and now my Minecraft account is doing the same thing after trying to log into my account from a different IP address. What do I do? Who can I talk to about resolving this?

    This also makes it so that I cannot update or change my email address, add a phone number, or add MFA to get around this problem.

    What do I do? Who can I talk to about resolving this?

    :)

    Me cambiaron el correo de verificación que yo no puse y no puedo acceder a cambiar la contraseña de mi cuenta microsoft, ni quitar ese correo que yo no tengo

    Web translation:

    I changed the verification email that I did not put and I can not access to change the password of my microsoft account, nor remove that email that I do not have

    I have a problem with my Microsoft account, I do not have access to my account settings (password, security etc) because when I want to access it asks me to verify with a code that they sent me to that verification mail, but the problem is that this email
    is not mine and that person enters my account and pretends to be the owner and now threatens to steal it from me, and he can access that information and I can not remove that verification email, because if he sent a request of information replacement, I mean
    to remove that verification email that is from the person who wants to steal from me, it sets me apart in 30 days and that gives me time to cancel the request and keep having my account that is mine not yours , I clarify the problem is the mail that I gave
    as verification being that I did not give that mail, that person put it without my authorization, I hope you can really help me I have been looking for days but just send me to that alternative email and or let me make my account private and not between that
    stranger, I wait for your answer

    stuck on security screen?

    The verification servers are bugged. Verification emails aren't being sent in timely fashion, either
