It was an email made over 2.5 years ago just for that purpose. Yes, it’s kind of dumb that he doesn’t know what it is. But if it were my account that I had lost all save data and DLC for, I’d be working just as hard to find help. Finding an Email from a Gamertag? This topic is locked from further discussion. I always wanted to find out what email account I used for my brothers XBox Live. That is pretty cool.

Hey guys! Hopefully this is an appropriate place to post this. I tried Microsoft support multiple times and I've had no luck. I am really frustrated. Here's the deal...
Sep 13, 2013 Years back my gamertag got corrupted & I deleted the profile from my Xbox. Only to realize I didn't know the email OR password because the profile was made LONG before that. So I was wondering if anybody could help me find the profiles email address back for me. Here's how to change the email linked to your Xbox Live gamertag! Whether you've just picked up a new email address or you're wanting to move on from that embarrassing decision a few years ago. I lost my gamertag today. I don't have access to it's email account or the password, is there anything I can do to recover it? (My debit card is assigned to the gamertag also, if theres.
In a nutshell, I can't log in to my old account or recover my gamertag.
Just picked up an Xbox One today. I logged in with my main email address (which I guess is my Microsoft ID on my PC?) It let me in to the Xbox dashboard but was treating it as a new account, so this is obviously not the email address associated with my 8 year old account I used for years on my 360. I'm able to SEE my old gamertag if I search for it. Everything's there. I tried every email address I've ever had and nothing is working.
I called Microsoft support twice. The first guy had no clue what he was doing so I called again and got a nice lady. She was able to verify my account by sending a text to my phone with a code - so it's obviously me!! I verified my address and everything and she told me the email address that's associated with my account. It doesn't exist. It's a variation of my past email addresses, but it's not real (never owned that domain). I asked if she could update the email to my actual email address so I could you know....use the account..., and she told me she doesn't have the power to do this. This seems ridiculous to me. How can that be true?
Anyway, now that I have that fake email address that is apparently what my account's under, I tried to log in with that. No dice. I also tried to log in with my phone number, which you think would work because she sent a verification text to my PHONE, but it's saying that account doesn't exist.
I tried all of those account.live.com whatever logins and none of them work. I tried to type in the fake email address and do forgot password but apparently that account doesn't exist. What the hell?

Items you will need
Xbox Live account
Xbox 360 console
If you own an Xbox 360 and like to play games online, you know that your Gamertag is the key to your identity. This Gamertag houses all your achievements, downloaded purchases and avatar information. Generally all your login information is stored on your Xbox 360 console, but if you have not used your Gamertag in awhile, or just need to remember your email address for personal reference, there is a simple way to recover it.
Turn on the Xbox 360 and make sure all accounts are signed out. If you have an auto sign-in function enabled, the easiest way to make sure everyone is logged out is to press the Xbox 360 guide button, followed by the X button.
Go to the My Xbox section of the console and scroll all the way to the right until you see the 'account management' pane. Press the A button to enter this space.
Once you have entered Account Management, scroll down until you see gamer profiles. You will now see a list of profiles that are associated with the console, sorted by email address/Gamertag. You may now make a note of your Gamertag email.

Warnings
If you have linked your Xbox Live account to a Windows Live email address, it is very important to login to your account every four months or it will be deleted and you won't have access your Gamertag. If you use another email service, this isn't an issue.
