    Dear Veronica Zador, 

    Is this a personal Microsoft account (typically @outlook.com / @hotmail.com / @live.com) or a work/school (Microsoft 365) account on your custom domain ? 

    I look forward to hearing from you. Have a lovely day!

    Only Microsoft’s official support channels can investigate or reverse actions taken on an Outlook or Microsoft account by a support agent.

    Use these steps to proceed:

    1. Go to Outlook.com support
      • Use the Outlook.com support entry point: select Help in Outlook on the web, enter a brief description such as “Outlook support agent deleted my email account,” then scroll to Still need help? and choose the option to contact support.
      • If sign-in is not possible with the deleted address, use the “can’t sign in” path to reach support.
    2. Explain that an agent deleted the account
      • Clearly state that the mailbox/account was deleted during a Microsoft support session and provide:
        • The affected email address (the @iiyogatherapy.com address).
        • Approximate date/time of the support session.
        • Any case number or reference ID from that session.
    3. Follow the account recovery or investigation process
      • Support will confirm whether the mailbox or alias can be restored. If it was removed as an alias from a Microsoft account and is from a Microsoft-owned domain (such as @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, @live.com, @msn.com), removal is permanent and the alias cannot be reattached to any Microsoft account again, as documented in the alias article referenced in the Q&A excerpts.
      • If the address is on a custom domain (like @iiyogatherapy.com), recovery options depend on how the domain and mailbox are hosted (Microsoft 365 tenant, third-party provider, etc.), which only support can check in the relevant tenant.
    4. If the account cannot be restored
      • Ask support to confirm the status in writing (for example, that the mailbox/alias is permanently deleted) and request guidance on:
        • Creating or assigning a replacement mailbox.
        • Updating sign-in and recovery information on any related Microsoft accounts.

    If access to the underlying Microsoft account itself was lost (not just the mailbox), use the standard account recovery process and, if necessary, escalate via Microsoft Support as described in the Q&A excerpts.
