I’m receiving e-mails that are intended for my friends account.

Hi, don't try to share email addresses here, is no allowed and no one can view your Microsoft account directly from here.

If your friend is not forwarding the message to your account and if your email is not registered in your friend's account or similar you may need to double check this with Microsoft

To see if there is a bug from your Microsoft account (ask your friend to do the same)

Hi there,

As stated, I have signed intro his account on my Xbox before, but my E-Mail is linked to my account, not his.

The majority of the E-Mails were received from *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***, but I have received others with receipts of his purchases.

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today NJFYA

That's odd, do know if your friend has registered your email address as an alias or similar in his account?
Are you able to ask this to him?

Also and just to confirm, the sender of those emails is Microsoft?
Did you double checked the address where those emails are sent?

For me (and i live in another country)

MS always send me the code direct to my e-mail account or right in the mensage!!!(like my friend when he register his Brazilian account and gain the MS controller for avatar, he rescues direct by mensage in dash board, and yes he receive a e-mail too)

I have a question in your acount security you selected the option receive e-mail from MS and his partners?

Because the only case i received a code in dash from the day i win a promotion of LG, they send the code by dash and e-mail too, from MS and partners i never received only dash!!!

I hope i help you and forgive my bad english, it´s self learnerd.

Responded to one of the e-mails and specifying that this is not my account, and that I no longer wished to receive e-mails regard it, may have fixed this issue. Because the e-mail is my primary login, it seems to have erased all contact preferences without deleting the account, so now that I've logged back in, it seems to have automatically re-registered the e-mail address as my primary point of contact.
