I sure have, and the screenshot is what I see after making the alias the primary and logging in using that primary.
I have not created an @live.com alias because I'm not offered that choice when creating alias, only outlook.com domain is offered to me on the create alias dialogs.
Hi Doug_Rousso ,
that is what I thought. If you have time and want, it would be good to see what would happen if you set new alias under outlook.com or live.
And while adding new primary address, delete the old one with the numbers if you see it.
- I created a new alias, set it as primary and logged out and back in. That primary is correct and showing a valid email address. I'm locked out of changing primary alias identity for a week as a result of my troubleshooting.
- Doug - did you ever get this fixed? I am having the same problem :
