I'm a PC support tech
This maybe an obvious one but it's something I've never understood how it works.
If you have created a Microsoft account with for example
Joe.Bloggs@talktalk.net
That is now Microsoft email address. You can log in to email from the Microsoft account webpage with that and send/receive emails!
Yet
Joe.Bloggs@talktalk.net also has an email address with TalkTalk and can log in to email with that on his TalkTalk webpage and send/receive emails!.
So how does the 'email world' determine which email server/inbox to send the emails to? I'm guessing it something to do with MX records and the actual addressing of the email headers.
It gets even more confusing when
Joe.Bloggs@talktalk.net is logging into a nice new shiny Win 10 PC/Laptop as the first thing Microsoft get you to do is signing with a Microsoft account!
Then a password change occurs and they loose access to their email as what they are actually doing is logging into the PC with the Microsoft account but the email/client is the TalkTalk one. And they get confused as to which password they have changed!
I always try to avoid setting Win 10 up like that scenario above and always create a
@Hotmail or @outlook account for my clients
Any insight to this would be appreciated
