Greetings,
Yes you can -- first, you'll need to save your contact list (it'll be deleted if you don't).
Sign into Messenger using your current Passport, click the File menu (or Contacts menu if
you're using MSN Messenger 6) and then select Save Contact List. The default filename should
be fine, and just save it on your Desktop. If you don't yet have a contact list, you can
skip this. Go to the Desktop and verify that the file was created.
If you do have contacts, you'll want to delete them off your main contact list (after you've
saved them), so that they can remove the "wrong" address off their lists completely. Just
right-click each contact, and choose Delete.
Then, go to:
http://memberservices.passport.com/memberservice.srf and select 'Edit my .NET Passport
profile' and then under your current e-mail address click 'I want to change this', and enter
the new address.
Then, sign-in to your new Passport in Messenger (click the 'Sign me in automatically').
Then, click the File menu (or Contacts menu if you're using MSN Messenger 6), then select
Import Contacts from a Saved File, then locate the file you just saved on your desktop and
select it. Your contacts will be readded, and they'll all need to add the new name to their
list.
