'email address not verified'

Hi,

I had to go through this problem today, despite that I've had a passport
account for 3 years.

The simplest way is to login and then go to the account summary page. At
the top of this page, there will be a yellow box and in the box will be a
link to verify your account. Click on this link to get a new verification
email.

https://account.live.com/summarypage.aspx

HTH - It took me like 30 minutes to figure this out. Microsoft is so
clueless sometimes...

I try to verify my email and got
"Verification e-mail has been sent to my.RemoveThis@email.address"
but no message in my mail box and no informaion about message in mailserver
logs.

my mail domain in .info TLD

Any suggestions?

Jonathan,
windows messenger works but my email address display also says 'email
address not verified'.

In order to verify my email address, I followed your instructions but I get
the following:
"Verify your e-mail address if you used your own e-mail address to create
your Windows Live ID (The e-mail address and password that you use to sign in
to Windows Live programs and services such as Windows Live Hotmail and
Windows Live Messenger; Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, MSN, and Office
Live; and anywhere else that you see the Windows Live ID logo.) you might be
asked to verify your e-mail address.

1. Click Verify your e-mail address. ==Do not have this option/button to
click !
2. Make sure the e-mail address shown is correct, and then select Send me
verification e-mail.
3. When you receive the verification e-mail, follow the enclosed
instructions."
Verify your e-mail address
If you used your own e-mail address to create your Windows Live ID (The
e-mail address and password that you use to sign in to Windows Live programs
and services such as Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger;
Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, MSN, and Office Live; and anywhere else
that you see the Windows Live ID logo.) you might be asked to verify your
e-mail address.

Click Verify your e-mail address.
Make sure the e-mail address shown is correct, and then select Send me
verification e-mail.

Greetings,

There's been two new versions of the Windows Live ID site since this post in 2006, I'm
actually surprised the link works at all.

Head over to:
https://account.live.com/verifysi.aspx?mkt=en-us&rp=summarypage

Click the 'Send e-mail' button and it will send you a verification e-mail with the
verification link you click to get verified.

I did this verification procedure and it now says the address is verified
(this is for another email address not the one i'm using here to type this).
The problem still there, live messenger still shows that my address is not
verified eventhough when i logon to passport.com to verify it it says it has
already been verified...

what am i missing here?

thanks
