    One last attempt why cant i change email address?


    I have 2 Xbox Live Gamertags

    Gamertag1 has a 5 month old email associated with it.

    Gamertag2 has a 5 month old email associated with it.

    I want to switch the email address in Gamertag2 on to Gamertag1. But in order to do that first i must have a dummy email address swapped on to Gamertag2. So that the email that i want becomes Free which i would then move to Gamertag1. I already have a 2
    month old dummy email address ready. This is where i'm stuck. It won't let me swap the email from Gamertag2.

    I'm using the Xbox 360 to do this changes because there is no way to do this on Xbox One.

    Every time i try it keeps telling me to visit accountswap.com

    Wth do i do? And Aliases won't work because remember. I'm trying to swap emails. And Microsoft Outlook doesn't take in Exiting Email Addresses as Aliases.

    :)

    Hello gfMemo92,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you require some assistance with transferring an email address from one Microsoft account to another. You have the correct idea when it comes to how to complete this process. You must make
    the dummy email address the primary alias which in turn makes the desired email address the secondary. This allows you to remove the desired email address and add it to a different Microsoft account as an alias. This process is possible with third-party email
    addresses such as @gmail.com or @yahoo.com, but it is not possible with Microsoft emails like @outlook or @live.com.

    If the Xbox 360 is not allowing you to manage your aliases, we suggest
    completing this process on the Microsoft account website
    from a different device like a cell phone or tablet. The section you want to click on is called, "Manage how you sign in to Microsoft." We have a support article that explains more about

    changing your email address
    . It provides a warning that you may want to review before you begin managing the email addresses. Be sure to let us know the results
    gfMemo92!

    Hi There,

    I can point you towards the online FAQ on how to change the email from your Microsoft account, so you wouldn't have to use an Xbox 360, you could use your PC for example.

    Link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/12407/microsoft-account-change-email-phone-number

    However, it seems like what you want to do with your two email aliases which is to swap them, doesn't seem possible, because of the rules that Microsoft has set up. This is from their website,

    • Aliases can't be moved from one Microsoft account to another.
    • If you remove your alias from the account it’s on today, it will be deleted from our systems and isn't recoverable, so you'll no longer be able to use it to send or receive emails.
    • Microsoft doesn't recycle aliases once they are deleted. This means it won't be available again as an alias or new account to you or anyone else at a later time.

    I mean the only easier way would be to re name my gamertags but you guys want to charge me. So instead of swapping emails i would just re name my gamertag from gamertag2 so heres what i would do

    swap user name gamertag1 on to gamertag2 and keep my desired email address. So what do you guys say? Will you give me a freebie? Come on. WHY else would i want to use Xbox? To play and buy games. Come on. Give me a freebie to change my Gamertag. Just once.
    I know you guys can make it possible.

    I want to spend money with xbox but no one will let me.

    I can't access the email that is associated with the gamertag. I have the ganertag and email but i cant access the email. I want to change the email so I can reset the password. So any attempt to send a reset password to the email that I cant get into
    wont work. Or maybe I'm not understanding which is why I would love to speak with someone. Thanks again.

    Why cant i still not change my email address?

    Hello

    How are you trying to change the email address? You can only change the primary email address associated with the account. You will need to add the new one first as a secondary account. Then switch it to the primary one.
