Greetings Tim,

Are you using Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger? If you're using Windows Messenger in SP2,
the Hotmail functionality was removed. You'll need to either install the previous version of
Windows Messenger (see below) or install MSN Messenger (http://messenger.msn.com/Download):

To downgrade back to Windows Messenger 4.7.2009:

and use the Add-In here:
