@MojangSupport i'm logged in to my account from like 2010, but i can't figure out the email address associated with it. can someone help me with that? i clicked on 'forgot email?' but it requires a transaction id that's contained IN AN EMAIL!

To keep your information secure, please complete our request form at msft.it/6010bG8Qq so we can safely assist with your question. ^FF

Hi. I already tried that, and it was ultimately completely unhelpful. The form does not work- the responders cannot look up email addresses. Could you DM me instead?

It sounds like you may have spoken with a game expert. You can request that they escalate your ticket to Minecraft Support so that we can further investigate your account. ^FF

I have. Apparently they are not allowed to even tell me the email address associated with my account, UNLESS i tell them the transaction id for the purchase of the game.... which is inside the inbox of that email address. That is circular and impossible logic!
