E-Mail verification help

In order to prevent others from sending you unwanted mail from Microsoft, we require that you verify ownership of your inbox. When you are adding a new e-mail address or changing an existing one we will send an e-mail to the address you have provided. There is a link within this e-mail which you may either click or copy into your browser window which will activate your e-mail address.

Until you complete this process Microsoft.com will not send you any requested communications.

Upon submitting a new or a changed e-mail address you will be directed to a page with the e-mail verification instructions. Please complete the e-mail verification a soon as possible in order to begin receiving your requested communications.

If you have trouble receiving your Inbox Verification E-mail, try the following:

• Wrong Address Make sure that you have typed in the correct e-mail address (displayed above). You may correct any mistakes by returning to the Profile Center and editing your e-mail address.
• Junk Mail Filter Make sure that the Verification E-mail did not get filtered into the junk mail folder of your e-mail application.
• Blocked by ISP In some cases e-mails may be accidentally blocked by anti-spam technology used by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact your ISP and ask them if they are blocking e-mail sent by 'Microsoft'.
• Pending Limit Exceeded To further protect your privacy and prevent unwanted e-mails, we allow only three e-mail verification messages to be sent to your inbox. If you are still unable to receive the Verification E-mail after three attempts, Contact Us
