Can't receive mail

You're right, that email address still doesn't work.
There must be something you are missing in the sign-up process.
Difficulties with Live or Hotmail accounts should be reported here:

Would you consider trying an account email address that does not contain a
special character such as your "_" symbol? Some email programs don't allow
them at all, and it seems to me I saw that somewhere about Live IDs but I

"tojoie" or "joieto" and see if you still experience issues. Just a thought
