Prevent email spoofing?

An email address I own at a domain I own was once used by me with a Microsoft account, now closed around 10 years ago. I am now getting messages from MS telling me that someone has started a process to change all the security information on this old account (I thought long closed). The options in the MS emails don't work for me because they require me to login to the long-closed account, or to use a form to retrieve the account that requires information like passwords, etc. I no longer have. My worry is that whomever is taking over the account will try to impersonate me since the email address includes my full name. It is an address I was using to apply for jobs back then. What to do to prevent someone from spoofing my email address and reviving this old MS account?
