I have an old msn.com email address which I have used to login to the Outlook app via a Microsoft 365 account. If I let the 365 subscription expire, will I lose access to any emails? Or will I still be able to login to outlook.com using my MSN.com account as I did previously to access those emails and receive no ones? I want to make sure I understand the degree to which the accounts have become connected.

    Hi @Jason Foose ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    Do you mean that you have configured your MSN account in Outlook 365 and want to know if your MSN account will be access after the 365 license ends, right?

    If so, you can access your MSN account on Outlook web mail. If you are concerned the data loss, you can try to export your date in Outlook desktop client to back up. More information: Export emails, contacts, and calendar items to Outlook using a .pst file.

    If you have problems when you try to log in to Outlook.com, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. It's suggested that you could post your case in dedicated forum for Outlook.com for more professional advice.

    Hope to help you!
