Question

Can I have more than one email account?

Community Answer

Yes, you can have as many as you want as long as you don't forget the passwords to them. Many people use multiple email addresses for different things, such as signing up for things (to avoid spam), family and friends, and work and school.

Question

What should I do if I am having a problem with the captcha?

Community Answer

There should be an option to refresh the page and load a different image. Keep doing this until find one you can read. If you're really having trouble, maybe take a screenshot and send it to someone else and ask them what it says.

Question

Why am I getting @outlook.com instead of @hotmail.com?

Community Answer

Outlook owns Hotmail now, so they are the same thing. Your email address was automatically converted when Hotmail became Outlook.
