Verification E-mail problems

TreacherousLopt · Oct 23, 2017

So I'm trying to pull my account onto another xbox and it gets to the point where it's supposed to send a verification e-mail and it will not send it. Probably tried re-sending 20 times or so and absolutely nothing. Got on support chat and the guy was like
oh yeah other people have the same problem it will be there in about 30 mins. Here we are 2 and a half hours later and still nothing. . . .WTF Microsoft

Microsoft Account Verification Problem

I've just bought an xbox one and created a new Microsoft account to use on xbox live as my son uses my old account. I logged into the xbox website with no problems and changed my gamertag to the one I want. So then I tried to setup my account on my xbox one and get to the stage where it sends a verification e-mail, no problem I thought, checked my e-mail account nothing, tried again nothing and again, left it a few hours nothing. This was Tuesday night and it will not send a verification e-mail. After a search I tried to verify my Microsoft account onm their website and it always comes up with a 'temporary problem, try gain later' screen.

So basically I can't use the new xbox one I've had sitting there for 2 days until this gets resolved, Anybody goy any answers as I can't face phoning Microsoft customer services.Cheers

Friend hacked and \account stolen

They would still have the previous e-mail on file. Besides that, the e-mail is not the only verification that your friend can use. The payment option on file is but one of the other verifications that could be used.

Have you looked in your Spam/Junk Mail folder for your email sometimes those emails end up there?

Also if you were able to create an account. It will want you to have that e-mail verified. So you'll need to check that e-mail and click the verification link.

Unfortunately, yes, that is the case. Please make sure that you've verified the e-mail (the 30 day count down starts from when you click the verification link in the e-mail).

Was this e-mail sent from XBL? Like what was the e-mail you got? I don't think they ask for someone to change an e-mail, they may ask to change a password, but I never heard of anyone asking to change an e-mail address. Are you sure it wasn't an e-mail to
have another e-mail put on your account for extra protection? Because I had to do that sometime ago for verification purposes. Thing is, this sounds like a scam. I'd contact Xbox support right away about this.
