    Hi there! My name is Brandon. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    I understand how important it is for you to access your email account.

    If you removed your email account from the list of your alias, I'm, afraid that you can no longer recover it.

    Deletion of addresses or accounts is effective immediately. And this is permanent.

    You can check this support article:

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/add-or...

    There is an important note from the link above:

    * Are you sure? If you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news. This is the policy that Microsoft follows.

    Hope that I was able to address your concern. Have a great day.

    Hi ELEIZE

    Thanks for reaching out! My name is Dane and i'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    Sorry to hear on what happened , my suggestion for you is to create a separate Microsoft Account not linked to your son's account or any other accouny, this will also prevent accidental deletion on account in the future.

    When you close a Microsoft account, you have 60 days to reopen the email account.

    You can check it here(under "After you close your account"):

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/12412/...

    However, this is not applicable to deleted alias.

    You can check it here(under "Remove an email address"):

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/add-or...

    Hope that this article helps.
