    Hi deepak3684, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    If you don't have access to that email address, then it won't be possible to change the email, since it needs to be verified first.

    As this is related to sensitive billing info, I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.

    You can do this by logging into your account, clicking this support link, scrolling down to 'Submit a help request', and providing as much info as possible.

    Keep me updated with any progress!

    Hello, I was given the option to create an account with 100GB storage. 

     

    Unfortunately, I input the wrong email address, ending with "outlool.com'' instead of ''outlook.com''. 

     

    Since I can't verify and change the email address since ''outlool'' does not exist, is there a way to solve this issue? 

    I have been unable to find an option to edit this in the ''account'' webpage.

     

    I am currently using the ''outlool'' account but I am unable to change it for now. Any help would be much appreciated!
