Re: Windows Messenger

What happened to hotmail alert emails?
With the Windows Messenger I`ve always had my hotmail popups showing I had
recieved mail (mail alerts), but now I don`t.
This seem to have stopped this last week or so.
Does Windows live Messenger not have this?
As well when I click the E mail in the Windows Live Messenger it opens to my
mail Outlook and not my Hotmail mail.
Is there something I can do to change it from opening my Outlook mail and
get my hotmail back?

Hi,

Yes you are both using Passport (it's actually been renamed to Windows Live ID recently)
accounts.

Windows Messenger has been discontinued. If you want the "advanced" features you will need
to use MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger.

I am new to messenger, but this does not correspond to my experience. I
have signed up for a passport.NET account using my work email account, and am
using Windows Messenger. My son signed up for the same type of account using
his yahoo email and MSN messenger. We have had no trouble communiccating.
Is that due to the passport.NET accounts? Is there a newer version of
Windows Messenger than 4.7 which includes some of the advanced features of
MSN Messenger?

Any help is great. Thanks

Jerry

Greetings,

No, MSN Messenger is not a replacement for Windows Messenger, they're separate
applications.

In order to talk to a Yahoo contact using Messenger, you need to use Windows Live
Messenger
8, sign up to the Yahoo beta program and then your contact must use the latest version of
Yahoo Messenger. All in all, the easiest solution in this case would be to just use Yahoo
Messenger.

I apologize for being such a newbie to IM. I have to start working with someone in
another
office and they currently use Yahoo. I was told that I would be able to talk with them
from
MSN Messenger. My only question is: Is MSN Messenger the update replacement for Windows
Messenger (stock version with windows xp)? Thanks for anyone who can help me.
