If you are trying to create the account again, please try the following:

  • Use Microsoft Edge and create the account in an InPrivate window.
  • Try a different device, and preferably a desktop or laptop computer if you're currently using a mobile device.
  • Ensure you are not connected to a VPN, proxy, or corporate network during the sign-up process.
  • If possible, switch to a different internet connection, such as a home network or mobile hotspot.

Hi @Magnus Rendall

Could you please provide a bit more detail about the blocked email address?

  • What exact error message do you receive when trying to set up the account?
  • Is the email address a personal account (e.g., Outlook.com) or a work/school account?
  • What Microsoft service are you signing up for?
  • Has this email address ever been used with a Microsoft account previously?

If possible, please share a screenshot of the error (with any personal information removed). This will help me identify why the address is being blocked and advise on the appropriate steps to unblock it.
