- Deleting your Live Mail account will also delete any associated Outlook.com accounts.
- If you're using a Microsoft account (e.g., @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com) for other services like Xbox, Skype, or OneDrive, you'll need to update those services to use a different email address.
- If you're using a custom domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com) with your Live Mail account, you'll need to update your DNS settings to point to a different email service provider.
