Possible to create @live.com email address
does anyone know if its possible to create a @live.com email address currently weather it be as an account or alias?
Microsoft are currently phasing out Live Mail, Hotmail & others & switching over to Outlook.com. This MS website explains it further.
Get help with Outlook.com - Outlook
No new Live.com or Hotmail.com accounts are available and are not being issued - You can still receive mails sent to a pre-existing Hotmail or Live account but all accounts are in the process of conversion to accounts at Outlook.com all new microsoft accounts will be username@outlook.com for the foreseeable future
the address im wanting to create used to exist as an email account i had a few years ago, im wanting to get access to it to access an account that it was the email for
Depends on the time it has been inactive - I know that Microsoft, and all other email providers, regularly Purge unused accounts after a set period of inactivity.
The only thing you can do is to go to Outlook.com - Microsoft free personal email and try to log-in using the old account and password, (Live.com is just a redirect to outlook.com). It may allow you to gain access. If not the last chance would be to contact Microsoft and see if it's possible to restore the account, (the failure to connect to the account may actually start this communication for you )
