Email sub-account VANISHES; tech support stymied, distracted by email in primary account from Amtrak

[Sid1968]

Last week, my husband found he could not access his email account: his password didn't work, and he did not recognize the security question he was challenged with. It's possible he just forgot both. He selected the option to receive a temporary password by snail mail, but he needed to get into the email sooner, so I called tech support.

Tech support could find no evidence that his account ever existed. To prove otherwise, I allowed tech support access to my computer with my email account open and showed him dozens of emails from my husband's account. I sent emails to my husband's account successfully. The tech support guy was more interested in an email (in my inbox) from Amtrak whose subject line announced that two of my Amtrak accounts were merging. He had me open this letter and read it aloud. He thought it proved that my husband's email account had been merged with mine, and that was why we couldn't find it.

Clearly this fellow was not going to be able to help. My request was escalated to a higher level, and I was told I would get a call back within two days. Three days later, someone from tech support called and promptly hung up. Four days later, someone from tech support called and told me I would get a call back in an hour or so. That hasn't happened either. 

Does anyone have any ideas?  Many thanks for reading this far.
