Hello
Its a SCAM!
In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA).

No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
identity.
Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer

Windows mail and e-mail recived incorrect account.
I have several different 'accounts' within windows mail and each with a different e-mail address for use by the members of the family separated.
Everything works fine because they have been implemented, but now an account has not reciving e-mail & mail addressed to another account is displayed with respect to another person (despite the Envoy to... address by post being correct)This is starting to drive me crazy because no one knows what email is for whom, without them open & read the Envoy at the address on the mail.
t-4-t, no rules set up & tried to scan e-mail out, no joy. As I said that everything has worked well since the implementation (over 12 months), but 2 days ago, this problem started without warning.
Did you reboot after you turn off the option to e-mail analysis?
Opportunity:
The account that stopped from receiving and sending could have been damaged. Delete this account, recreate the account.
See if that helps. Note: you do not want messages from accounts and other backup before deleting the account.If still no go, I can only suggest you install Windows Live Mail which is supposed to replace Windows Mail anyway.

Oops, see above.
Not exactly what you're asking. If you click send/receive to this, all accounts as long as in tools | Accounts | (Each account). Properties | General: include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing is checked.

You don't have to have the Microsoft Office Suite installed in order to open xls files.

I have several email accounts and redirect all the oif to Gmail in order to cut out Spam (which Gmail does very well). However, when I as a message to my BB 8300 and I answered her, the answer still recive goes back to the sender of my Gmail account - that is to say I don't get a choice of which account to reply.
