Hi Guys and Girls!
Just a quick question I wondered if any of you forum guys had an idea of a way to receive e-mails from 2 Windows live email accounts to one device?
I have a hotmail.com address which I've had for ages and is used for messenger, facebook and any other crap like that and i have a live.co.uk account that I use for all important e-mails such as Jobs, banking etc.
I dont want to set the one account just to forward to the other account but as far as I can see you can only sign into the windows live application with 1 ID and you have to keep switching. Also it won't let you set up the other e-mail address through the general Email account setup.
If anyone has any ideas that might help I will be very appreciative!
Many Thanks All!
The only way as far as i know is to just bookmark one of the hotmail accounts in your browser and just refresh it whenever you want to check for new mail. It works for me. Cheers.

Yeah but it kind of defeats the object of having Push Email though...
Sorry, but it don;t know of any way to do it. as you have already noticed, the Live app only supports one account. Maybe something like fleximail or a similar 3rd party mail app would allow you to have multiple hotmail accounts??
First - thanks to everyone at xda for all the tips and help - what a great site!
Now don't laugh when I say that I have a T-Mobile (Danger) Sidekick. I have been happy with it but I want to replace my SK and my Pocket PC with one device instead of two.
With my Sidekick, I got a separate [email protected] account. My email came through without me checking it and I could also receive and send from some other accounts (like my personal earthlink account) The email came through without me having to check for it. (I don't know of it was push or pull but it works quite well)
I am seriously considering getting a Fuze but have some questions about email:
1 - Does AT&T give you a separate email address?
2 - I have read that I can get my personal earthlink as well as gmail and yahoo mail on the Fuze but do I need to have AT&T's "express mail" to get it?
Thanks so much.
To my knowledge, at&t doesnt give you an email address. You could use gmail with the gmail app or through opera, but im not sure if theres an app that would work with the touchflo 3d tab. If you have a live account you can use windows live mail and that does work with the tf3D tab. Im not sure about earthlink or gmail though. Hope that helps.
att gives you an email address, but it's *your phone number*@att.mywireless.com or something like that.
you can also get a media net email address.
with the fuze, my yahoo mail is pushed to my phone at the sametime it appears in my web browser (if i am online at the time)
i also have active synch synch up to my corporate exchange server email using https
Thanks for the replies.
I don't have an AT&T account (yet) and I do not use Outlook for email so I am unfamiliar with both.
I still don't understand: what exactly does AT&T's "express mail" do? Will I need it in order to get my earthlink mail on a Fuze? I know I can check mail through the web browser but will the WM email client receive my earthlink email automatically or do I have to manually check for it?
My current Xbox live gamertag is under a yahoo email account because at the time, I did not have a @live.com email.
I just reset my phone and signed in with my @live.com email and it created a new Xbox live account.
Thru the xbox console itself I tried changing the email from my yahoo to my live, but it won't let me since the live email is already associated with the new xbox live account it created.
Called xbox live support and they said they can't delete accounts and to try and log out of xbox live on my phone (which it won't let me)..
Any tips?
This is basically what I need to do, but can't

I went through something similar. My xbox live account was linked to a slush hotmail account, not my main one (my full name). When I knew I was getting a wp7, I went about trying to switch it, however there was already an xbox live account associated with my full-name one (I had made one but switched to my slush account).
This is what I did:
-create new email ([email protected])
-go to xbox console, and recover gamertag for my fullname hotmail (it's somewhere in account settings or something)
-switched the gamertag associated with my fullname to [email protected]
-so my [email protected] now has no gamertag associated with it
-switched my main xbox live account to my fullname hotmail email
And voila, I now had my xbox account linked to my fullname hotmail
I hope this answers your question, and if it doesn't, my apologies and good luck, gamertag associations are a ***** to deal with.
Thanks, i'm thinking that's what i'm gonna have to do. Create a new @live email account, change my xbox live account email to the new @live email, AND reset my phone and use the new @live email.
Right now that seems like the only thing that will work, unless anyone else has any other ideas...
Your're right, they are a ***** to deal with. I'm kind of ticked off it automatically created a new xbox live account when I put in my @live email on my phone. Didn't even give me a chance to log in with my xbox live account.
No, do what he said, you don't need to reset your phone I believe. What he said to do was log into the Xbox and sign in to your PHONES email, which will sign into your 'new' account and switch THAT email to a new one, a temporary one you'll need to make. Once that account is off that email, you'll be able to switch your real xbox live ID to your phones email...

I just had to do the above, but when I did it, it wouldn't remove the automatically created player######## xbox live gamertag from my phone, even though it was now associated with a different email address than my live ID account and my correct gamertag was associated with the correct live ID email. After several soft resets, no change, still player####### in my game hub. I did a hard reset and it fixed that problem, when went to reload the apps that I'd purchased previously, they are longer showing up as previously purchased. In ZUNE, I have no apps in my purchases history. It's as if the app purchases were linked to my gamertag!?!?!? WTF.
Maybe it wouldn't remove the Player###### gamertag ID because of the achievements associated with the installed apps? Maybe that's why removing that gamertag ID removed the app purchase history? Maybe my being on Mango Beta has something to do with this? At no point in time did I change the LIVE ID email account associated with my phone.
I think I might have to restore to an old backup...
Hello, I don´t know where to ask this, so here it goes.
I have my main hotmail account which is listed as an unsupported country (for wp7 marketplace), I managed to change my address and region in hotmail so in that way I was able to access the marketplace in my WP7 ... but the problem is, that in the past I created an Xbox live account with this account, so my hotmail account appears as USA (which is the country I want now) and my xbox live account shows something else.
Now, when I wanted to create a zune account it appears as a different country, giving me overpriced items in the marketplace, so my zune ID and my Xbox Live ID are both showing the wrong country but my hotmail account is showing correct ... do you guys know how to change this?? I really dont care losing my xbox live account or my zune ID, but I do want to keep my hotmail address.
thank you.
Hi,
My brother had the same kind of problem, and Microsoft tell him that they cant do anything. He had to make another account.
Sorry for your accound.....
Yeah, unfortunately you can't do anything about it. The best way is to create a U.S. account.
So please help:
I have Hotmail for 13 years.
Now Zune starts to support my country (Poland).
So when I want to login to Zune on my PC, Zune says my country region of my PC and Hotmail are not the same so I cannot be logged in.
Apparently 13 years ago Hotmail didn't even exist for Poland so I couldn't even locate my account for Poland.
So what can I do? I don't want to change my account of course and it is already attached to my phone. I can't login to Zune.
You try on that site: www.xbox.com
Change location and display language in Regional Settings to US. Worked for me.
Although i love WP7, this pisses me off. It is f**ked up beyond beliefs.
Hey up
Strange windows phone 7 issue
Running latest mango build
Basically I had an exchange account and had my contacts from Facebook also linked.
But then I swapped from kernio hosted exchange to actual ms exchange on another service.
So deleted email account and recreated it.
Ofcourse links needed relinking. So I did this once I setup new service. Was stilll using same email address
But then I noticed that my texts all went out of sack
I have a contact called bob. Bob has all texts.
Then after this change bob texts me but it starts a new thread.
Which is not ideal.
How can I solve this?
As all fb links are in place and would have thought wp7 would check the phone numbers to link sms!
As this is gonna suck otherwise.
Help!
Bump, as this is now getting annoying
