HOTMAIL is now Outlook.com, Microsoft's updated email platform. Most users have numerous email accounts, making it potentially tricky to manage your messages. Fortunately, help is at hand with the Microsoft Hotmail email account Recovery Form.
This Recovery Form is a tool providing additional information, meaning Silicon Valley giant Microsoft can ensure you to regain access to your account.
It is important to note that Hotmail account users who have disabled two-step verification cannot use the recovery form.
Two-step verification is a recently-introduced security function preventing people from signing in without two forms of identification, regardless of how much information is known about their account.
How to log in to an old Hotmail account:
A working email account is required so Microsoft can provide information about your request.
Users can use any active email account, even one belonging to trusted friends or relatives.
Users who cannot access another email account can alternatively create a temporary Outlook.
This can be done for free by selecting Create One at the Microsoft account sign-in page.
How to fill out a Hotmail Recovery Form:
Begin by visiting account.live.com/acsr and enter your email address, phone number or username relating to the account you are attempting to access.
Next, provide an email address Microsoft can use to contact you concerning your request.
You will then be requested to enter the generated characters that appear on the screen proving you are not a bot.
A screen will then pop-up asking you to verify the contact email address.
Check this email for the security code, enter it, then select Verify.
Select Submit when you are finished, and Microsoft should respond within 24 hours.
How to find the Outlook Options menu:
The options menu has moved from its familiar place since the recent migration from Hotmail to Outlook.
The move to Outlook has made the experience of emailing easier to manage, although some users are still getting to grips with the new layout.
Begin by selecting the setting(gear) icon on the homepage’s top right-hand corner and clicking on More Mail Options.
This presents a comprehensive list of options to optimize and personalize your Outlook account.
How to recall and replace an email in Outlook:
To recall an email in Outlook, open the service and click to the Sent Items folder.
Next double-click the sent message you wish to recall to open the email in a separate window.
The 'recall a message' option is not available when the message is displayed in the Reading Pane.
Now head to the Message tab, select the Actions dropdown arrow, and choose Recall This Message.
In the Recall This Message dialog box, select either: Delete Unread Copies of This Message to recall the message, or Delete Unread Copies and Replace With a New Message to replace the message with a new one.
If you want to receive notification of the results, select the Tell Me if Recall Succeeds or Fails for Each Recipient checkbox.
If you selected Delete Unread Copies and Replace with a New Message, modify the original message and select Send.
You will now receive an Outlook notification message regarding the success or failure of your attempt to retract or replace the email.
Sending an incorrect email can be counterproductive and even embarrassing.
While Outlook’s recall feature might save you in a pinch, you can alleviate some stress by scheduling or delaying messages to be sent.
This function can provide the necessary time to spot mistakes or update information before your email lands in your recipient’s inbox.
How to prevent Microsoft Outlook saving sent email:
Removing the Sent Items folder in Microsoft Outlook involves deleting the emails or archiving them.
In either instance, the process can be automated by either not saving sent emails or instead saving them to another folder.
When an email is sent, Microsoft Outlook sends the original email to the recipient and stores a copy of that email in the Sent Items folder.
Although this default behavior id intuitive and will probably be retained, users are not stuck with it.
Microsoft Outlook allows users to deactivate this, meaning a copy of sent emails are not stored in the Sent Items folder.
As a result, this is all that is required for those who usually delete everything in their Sent Items.
To automatically move items into a folder other than Sent Items, stop Outlook storing a copy to your Sent Items, and create a rule sending a copy of all emails, simply send to the folder of your choice instead.
