I recently changed my email address in my Windows Live account. Now whenever I try to sign into the OS X Messenger client (6.0.2), it says, "Sorry, you cannot sign in until you verify that ---@---.com really belongs to you." It tells me to look for an email titled "Please verify your Windows Live ID and Email Address" in my email account, and I did get an email with a verification link (which I clicked on), but it was not called that. Messenger is not recognizing that I verified.

Adium can log in to the account fine. Messenger in Windows gives me the same message but still lets me log on, with "unverified" status.

Anyone else had this problem before?

Edit: I changed my account back to the old email address and created a new account with the new address and that seems to work fine. Still wondering why renaming the account wouldn't work though. Also, does anyone know if old accounts can be deleted?
