Wikipedia send access codes to my old hotmail address.

Can I see those codes in my outlook address?

    Hi @Jesus V Valencia

    If your old Hotmail address and current Outlook address are aliases of the same Microsoft account, they share the same mailbox, so the Wikipedia code should appear in your Outlook inbox or Junk Email folder. Microsoft confirms that aliases use the same account and can send and receive email through the shared mailbox.

    If they are separate Microsoft accounts, messages sent to the old Hotmail address will not appear in the new Outlook mailbox. You would need to sign in to the old Hotmail mailbox to retrieve the code, or update the email address directly in your Wikipedia account.

    Before removing the old address, update it on Wikipedia and confirm that codes arrive at the new address. You can then manage Microsoft account aliases under Your info > Edit account info.

    Hope this helps, please feel free to let me know if you need any further help
