Pay a little bit for an account where you can solve your problem by phone if necessary. Interesting, but they are not necessarily the same. I have a hotmail account and a msn account. They are separate mail accounts and I have to log on to each to get my mail.

Leo, Just to complete the picture, can you also comment on Windows messenger and Windows Live Messenger? I have seen a number of computers which are running both not realising that Windows messenger was already starting automatically.

Moral of the story??? Very big IS bad!! Giants do what they feel like doing. Most products out of Microsoft are poor copies of things previously offered elsewhere. Support the alternatives. Use another eMail service!! In fact, the same applies to other areas. See what big banks did to the economy? I have moved all my business to small banks. I had a email account, [removed] hotmail. This is my correct hotmail address!! Any ideas??? We do not allow people to enter real email addresses in public comments.

Wow what a mess. I have my own Domain on a wi fi system at a park in Texas that I use outlook express on. Neither of these are accepted by MSN, or windows 7. Leo, I have an involved question. I purchased many apps with the msn id and fear that I am going to lose them if I switch.

I also have a hotmail account. Do you have any suggestions? Hotmail is just one of several email accounts I use, depending on the scenario. Although I can sync up all of my email addresses to one program POP Peeper and get everything delivered to my desktop, whenever I go to my Hotmail email address manually, I have to click on a couple of different dropdown menus just to see my mail.

I think MS has done this as an underhanded way of getting people with free Hotmail accounts to purchase their premium service, or even just migrate over to Outlook. Many, if not most companies which offer free services do it for promotional purposes and often try to up-sell you to a premium paid-for service. They are not trying to migrate you to Outlook. Your Hotmail address remains the same but it is actually an Outlook.

Do you know how this migration was done? I have an outlook. They are separate name spaces. Just to correct one error in the article — New email addresses are available only as outlook. My belief, then, is that this may change based on criteria I can only guess at. I do not know if I already have a Microsoft account and if I do, how do I get it and get the password?
