Catch 22 - Skype email address no longer current a...

I can log into Skype using my microsoft account.
I want to change my primary email address so I can get email notifications.
My primary email address is no longer valid and I have forgotten the password associated with that email address.
When I try to change my primary email address it asks for the password associated with that email address. I do not know that password so it fails
If I try to change the password I get a message asking for my email address (the invalid address) and I get a message that they cannot send a message to that address.
I had a two page chat with a rep who told me they cannot change my primary email address and I have to log in with the password associated with that email address.
Catch 22.

I have exactly the same problem! I have only used Microsoft account to sign in.
I can modify all other data, except the notification/primary email that is not valid anymore. I also have another (correct) email on my profile list, but I cannot choose it because Skype keeps on asking my password again. None of my present or previous passwords is accepted...
I have contacted the Skype customer care (already 9 emails!), but they don't seem to understand the issue at all. The ninth answer started with '
Hello,
Thank you for response.
I understand that you want to recover your account...'
So much about their customer care...
No, that is not what I want to do! I can access my Skype account but I cannot change this single email. That is the problem! All Skype notifications go to a non-existent email.
Anybody solved this issue?

  • The email address used to Sign into my icloud is no longer active, this is different than my apple id email address though. How can I change my icloud email address to my current apple id email address

    When I received my iphone 4s 3 years ago the my apple id and icloud email addresses were the same, it was a student email from the college I attended. This account is no longer active, but when I changed my apple id email address to a current email (gmail account) the icloud address didn't change over. I now have no ability to sign into icloud on my phone and icloud hasn't been updated in nearly a year. I wanted to figure out this problem before I upgraded to the Iphone 6 this December. Is there any way this is possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should still be able to use your college email address, just log in with your details.

  • How do I delete an ICloud acct on IPhone when the old email address no longer exists?

    I changed my Apple ID password due to a phishing email and it started a downward spiral of issues.  My original ICloud email address no longer exists. I have tried to sign out/in in itunes that worked but I cannot delete the ICloud account because the field is not editable for apple ID. I tried setting it back to the old email address to turn off Find my IPhone but it will nopt allow because the email address cannot be verified because it no longer exists.

    To Delete an iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.  You should then be able to delete the old account.  When done, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.

  • HT202667 I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID! H

    I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
    I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
    Thanks for any help!

    This did not work for me.  My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook.  I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up.  I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

  • Delete the iCloud account associated with an old email address no longer in use...Help!

    I am trying to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone that is associated with an old email address no longer in use, so I can set it up with my new email address.   I am unable to delete the account until I turn off "Find my iPHone" which it won't let me do unless I log in under the old email address.....  Problem is, I don't remember the password for the old address/account.   It is no longer functional so I cannot request a reminder.  I've already updated my iTunes/Apple ID with my new email address. I'm stuck!!  Help!

    You remember the answers to the security questions or you call Apple, talk to someone in account security, and prove to them that you own the account.

  • I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
    I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
    Contact support here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/
    You may want to try to manage the old ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Use the original email address and password.

  • HT5312 how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

    how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

  • HT5312 My rescue email address no longer exists and I can't remember my security questions. HELP

    My rescue email address no longer exists and I can't remember my security questions. HELP

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • 3 letter email address no longer valid??

    I have been unable to get my email address back ever since my latest BB device upgrade to a Bold 9900. I wanted to switch my bb email address which is [email protected] (note that those x's represent 3 letters.) When I called my carrier to ask them to connect that email address to my current PIN they said they are unable to do so, as they are getting error messages that emails must have a minimum of 4 characters, and that I must take my concerns to blackberry support. Talk about passing the buck, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anyway I can get my email back or is it history?
    Thanks!

    Hey galleon,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Can you send me a private message with the email address you want and the PIN number so I can investigate?

  • Support for  catch all email address

    Does anyone know if mail server has support for  catch all email address

    I now do want to catch all email as it has become my lives work to report spam.
    So I figured out an easier way to catch all email using simply the serveradmin command-line tool (this only takes email that would otherwise bounce):
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay_enabled = yes
    sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay = catchallusername
    sudo postfix reload

  • How can I authorise my computer when the email address no longer exists

    Yesterday, due to software problems I had to have my computer wiped. I reinstalled iTunes and loaded all my music, films etc back on (these are kept on a hard drive) with no problems. I now have about 120 songs/videos that will not play as they were purchased with an email address that no longer exists. iTunes keeps asking me to authorise my computer but I do not know the password. Is there any way I can get these purchases back? Not techy at all, please help, I've been at this all day!!!

    You will need to call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask for the Account security department.  They will have you sign into the My Apple ID site at id.apple.com using the Manage Apple ID button and generate a temporary support pin.  It can be found in the lower left corner of the Password and Security section once you log in.
    Once you give them the support pin, they will ask for one other piece of information from the account in order to verify that you own it.  This can either be one of the current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a device verification code that they can send you.
    Good luck!

  • Verification email address no longer in use.

    I've been trying to see verify my rewards card on my account but the verification email is going to an address that I no longer use or have access to. What can I do about this?
