Re: Messenger Live new ID?

Greetings Paul,

You can still create a Passport (or Windows Live ID) from any e-mail account. Just do so

Hi,

I have upgraded from MSN Messenger to Windows Live Messenger and want to create a new login
ID. As in the past with MSN messenger I logged out of my existing account and selected the
option to create a new account. In the past you have had the option to create a new login
ID with MSN/Hotmail etc or use an existing email address which was always my preferred
option.

I notice now with Windows live messenger you can only create a hotmail ID and the option to
use an existing email address is no longer there?

I do I go about creating a new ID using a non MSN or Hotmail address?

Regards,

Paul
