are you talking about accessing gmail through a web browser? If so either log out your wifes gmail, and log into yours. (top right area) . Or there might be a letter or a picture, it will show you which accounts it knows about that you can switch between.

What you were doing is clicking a Chrome link to a webpage where you emails are. Who set it up ? How did it get setup ? Not you ?
You haven't lost your email address you've simply lost the 'bookmark' to it. Who's the provider ?
Xtra/spark Gmail hotmail god knows who ?

Just GOTO WWW.hotmail.com Or. Co.nz
Whichever And click on login.
Assuming the system has that info saved you won't need to input anything. After you login re-save another bookmark.

Handy that you don't know the password.

When you get to the sign in screen, you have to enter both your name (email address) AND your password. If you don't know your password, that's the likely problem. If you have entered a backup email or cellphone number, then you can reset the password by getting a link or code sent to your other device.
The Samsung phone is still logged in, with the correct password, hence it's still getting emails. So nothing weird about that.

You might be able the use it with the ipad email client.
and repeating " it won't let me sign in" is not helpful in any way

Yes - EXACT error messages, where possible, are much more helpful.

OK i click on the link you gave me,all it does is take me to the outlook mail box.I do sleep at night sometimes!.It appears to me my Hotmail address has been deleted as MS are replacing Hotmail with Outlook.By "It wont let me sign in" means i hover over a heading and whatever key i click on nothing bloody well happens.

There are NO error messages exact or otherwise!

when you click on the link does the email box have your email address in it?
if not you need to type it in and click next.
dont post stuff about sleep or what you think is happening, this is just a distraction - only way to resolve this in a reasonable timespan is if you answer questions exactly

Ah finally.
So indeed it has let you sign in as yes Microsoft have replaced the 'old' hotmail with 'Outlook' . essentially it's not much different and it still uses the exact same email address and settings your hotmail had. I click on that same link and I'm in 'Outlook' also. yet I have a hotmail addy.
If you look to the far right hand side of the web page at the very top. you'll see some icons . the furtherest most one will say 'Account' if you simply sit the mouse over it, (without clicking that mouse).
If you do click the mouse then it'll give you some options Goto 'view account' that'll show you your email addy. On mine it says xxx@hotmail.com
Your's will be the same.
Can you be a bit more specific ? I mean for instance on the left hand side of the 'Outlook' mail box you have several folders listed
Inbox Junk Mail Drafts Sent items
Are you sayin if you click on one of those 'nothing happens' ?

After you click that link what you are looking at Does it look a like this or very similar ?
