From what I understand, your Outlook account is stuck and you had logged into it from your Phone, hence now even your phone is stuck, am I right?
In that case, just go to outlook.com and make a new account, and reset the phone. CAUTION: ALL DATA will be wiped.
Then, when the phone restarts after resetting, log in with the new account.

For some reason when i try to delete my window live account the only option i get is sync and not delete like my facebook account.
I can't buy games now since i registered the account overseas and now i'm back in my home country. I can't download any games because it says i need an account registered to the country i'm currently in.
After registering i tried to buy games but i can't change the email address.
Is there any solution to this problem?
Just do a quick hard reset. Takes about 20 seconds with this phone.
You can't delete the main Live ID on the phone, as you must have at least one connected to it at all times. Try adding another one and then deleting the first one. Otherwise a hard reset will do the trick (at the expense of wiping your phone).
The thing is if i hard reset it i'll lose all my apps and it took me ages to download.
I tried making a new live one but it would only let me delete the new one and not the old one
As was said earlier, you cannot delete the live account, on which is your phone registered. It is not possible. The only way is to hard reset your phone and register it on different live id. But not even that you will have to download all apps again, but also, if you already bought some apps using the previous live id, you will have to buy them again because they are connected with the live id, not the phone itself.

the reason is simple: You can track your phone with your live-id, as well as delete or lock the phone, if your phone is stolen or lost. This is a security feature.
If it were just that simple to delete your live-id from the phone like your facebook-account, this feature would be unnecessary.
Hello everybody!
I have a big Problem. Currently i am using 2 Windows phones (Windows 7 and 8) with the same Microsoft account.
Yesterday i lost my omnia 7. I am very worried about my saved accounts there in particular the Microsoft account. I imediately changed the password. What i do not understand though is why i do not get a notification on my 8x regarding the changed password. It synchronizes as nothing had happened.
Did anyone have the same problem or knows a workaround for this?
Thank u so much for your help in advance!
Best Katti
Make sure you have definitely changed the password using a PC, I run a WP7.8 and WP8 on the same account and if I change one it affects the other, However I didn't get any notifications other than an email, But check in your email settings on the phone to make sure everything is synced and up to date, You may well find after syncing that it identifies the password has been changed,
You can always go into your windows phone account on a PC and erase all data on your lost phone or even ring it, or find where it is on a map.
Hello guys,
I have a Lumia 928 which is experimenting issues after some days ago specifically with Yahoo email.
Error is 80004005, it does not sync and download the emails.
I have tried deleting the account , setting it again as yahoo, as "Other email", writing manually IMAP servers and ports, but the problem still continue, I even restarted the phone, but everything continue in the same way.
I have read some info related to this error, but apparently it come for several reasons, so weird. In reality and there is no one solution for this error in the phone, i have seen some solutions for this in the PC.
My Lumia already is running GDR3, and the email was working so good, except that 3 days ago or so, started with this issue. I have installed the GDR3 forcing the phone to do that, I had previously the Lumia Amber... then throught the "Phone for Developers" app, I updated to GDR3
Any ideas to solve this issue?
I give more sure there is problem with yahoo, or what ever you calling it. Wrong email settings you setup. I recomend you forward all incoming emails to live/hotmail/outlook.
Is the Yahoo account linked/synced through your Microsoft account? If not try adding the account to Outlook or Live or whatever the hell they are calling it now. I currently have email through my service provider that syncs flawlessly to my phone but it is also synced through my live account when I access Outlook through a web browser or the Windows 8 app on pc. It is configured as a separate pop 3 account on my 928 and am able to send and receive from that account no problem. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but can't hurt.
Yeah that's definitely odd. Does this happen when on WiFi or Cell Data?

Problem was solved after to receive a Nokia update...now everything is working great!
This might have been asked before, if so please pardon me. Long story short, The email that I created my Microsoft\live account has changed, the question is; how do I get my new account on my Windows Phone without having to do a hard reset and without loosing my apps, settings and so forth? Is this even possible or am I out of luck? Please advise. Thank you.

i had same problem however i was lucky only having the new wp8.1 phone for 2 days. so didnt have much on it so far... i had to hard reset.
next time you hard reset dont login with "Microsoft Account" login under "Other..." or "Advanced" with your hotmail email... becausae that "Microsoft account" is useless ****. it drains battery by constantly checking for new email. cause you only have one option which is " daily" at longest to check emails again. where on normal hotmail or google account you have " manual" check for emails.... and if you sign in using "Other..." or "Advanced..." with your hotmail account it will be same thing and you will be able to set "manual" "daily" "weekly" "1hour" so on... good luck bro ! back your stuff up to onedrive or something
That's what i was afraid of, I guess I will also have to sign up for a developers preview again with the new account and I will loose whatever games and or apps that I bought Why??????
There is only one way can change the default email id for the device without hard reset, through REGISTRY EDITOR.
Which is your device ?
Hi,
I accidentally removed through web browser my Xiaomi Account without logging out from my phone.
Now when I go to Settings > Mi Account the phone asks for the password of the account that I deleted (see attached image)
If I try to login with my old Mi account information on my phone, I get a message saying that the account no longer exists and I have to create a new one. I created a brand new account but I cannot bind it to the phone.
I contacted Xiaomi service by email but I got no solution from it.
Could a phone factory reset wipe the old Mi account information and let me configure the phone again from scratch?
Please can you help me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Luigi

Sometimes you have to wait for the Xiaomi servers to be up to date.
Have you tried: forgot password?
Unfortunately old account deletion has already taken effect, I cannot do anything to recover or change old account information.

Try to reset the phone.
I've already tried to login on https://us.i.mi.com/ with my old account credential but I got the message "This account has been deleted. Create a new one". I created a new account with the same phone number but actually the phone is bounded to the deleted account and it seems there is no way on the phone to bind it to the new one.
I'm really frustrated about this awful account management by Xiaomi.

On this site you must connect with the new one since you have deleted the old one.
can you login with the new one?
If ok wait to reset the phone, otherwise you will find yourself in the same situation.
I followed your suggestions and I successfully set up the new account on the phone.
Really thank you very much for your help.
Luigi
How did you get it to work?
I'm in the same bind and apparently there's a few days left before the account is removed from their server yet they won't reinstate it. I may be running against the clock here.
I did create a new account but there is no way to add the phone to it and they warned against resetting the phone as it would lock it permanently!
I was doing more research and I remembered that I did delete my phone from the MI account through the website before I deleted the account itself. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Connect to the phone with your new account which must correspond with the phone number provided.https://us.i.mi.com/
If your new account is recent wait.
On condition that there are no others.
Thanks NOSS8, Just to be clear the phone still shows the old account connected to it and every time I try to enter the password it gives a "Server Error". So the question is do I need to reset the phone to get the old account off?

logout and try with the new account
Once more thank you for your help. BTW, I love your avatar it expresses exactly how I feel dealing with Xiaomi :-D
One thing I just realized that may be totally different from the experience of others, there's a notification that the account session has expired and I need to enter the password again. Unfortunately it's trying to access the old account that has been deleted. Since I can't log back in I can't logout either, to remove the old account.
At this point it seems I can keep using it this way and hope it doesn't suddenly decide the phone is stolen and lock me out or I can just reset and whatever happens... Worst case I'll switch to an iPhone
Shame though, it's a really nice phone and I like MIUI.
