Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
Hello,
The error “That Microsoft account doesn’t exist. Enter a different account or get a new one” may appear for the following reasons:
- Your account has been inactive for more than two years and has been deleted.
- You manually submitted an account closure request. If submitted, the account will be closed after 30 or 60 days.
- Someone hacked into your account and removed the email address or alias associated with it.
Based on your description, it appears that you used your account three days ago, which suggests that someone may have hacked into your account and deleted the Microsoft domain email address from it. If this happens, it is similar to permanently deleting the address. You cannot associate that address with any other Microsoft account again, nor recreate it.
In this situation, I recommend submitting an account recovery request through Xbox, as this process is specifically for hacked accounts. The team will review your response and may help recover your account, if possible.
You can submit the request through this link:
