hi all, I am new to windows 8 and having trouble with my account alias, I recently purchased a new laptop, when I created my alias email address I used a pop 3 email (ntlworld.com) unaware that that these email addresses cannot be used, I am trying to add a Hotmail.co.uk address but it is saying, "For security reasons, you need to verify your primary alias before you can add another alias" I have received an email in my ntlworld.com email and it says if the address is correct I do not need to do anything, but it can't be verified, please help
Did you not get this mail to verify.
You must first verify your primary made account before you can make any aliasses.
E) Check the inbox for your email address from step 3A for this email. Open the email, and click/tap on Verify your@emailaddress.com. (see screenshot below)
