Tiftof Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I just made .net passport for my gmail adress because I want to go on msn with that adress. Problem is: I can't change my nickname. It just keeps saying my email adress. And someone told me that when opening a chatwindow it says that my email adress is not verified or something...

iMonkey Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 You have to wait (sometimes it can take 72 hours) for MSN/Hotmail to send you an email asking you to prove that you are you. It does come through, in the mean time you just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 i am using my gmail address for my msn messenger account right now! before you can change your name [ like _//_TechTV said ] you have to prove that you are you. i got mine instantly, try signing up again maybe.

Tiftof Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 damn, I had a verification email yesterday (I signed up for .net passport yesterday) and I followed the instructions. Afterwards I got an email back that my account was succesfully verified. I just click the link again from the first mail so I verified it for a second time and now it works. Strange things. But now I'm a happy man ;) hehe. thx for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiftof Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 I don't understand the word contemplating... :p I just made a .net passport for fun but I'll probably switch, might be today already. I trust google and I hope that gmail doesn't dissapear at some time so I that I never have to switch again from account. I was searching for a good alias provider for my mail so I could make .net passport for that and could switch email adress whenever was needed. But I gave up on that search and just going to use my gmail adress I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Is there a way to check your Gmail though msn messenger yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiftof Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 not an easy way that I know off. But you can when you get 'pop goes to gmail' and then add that pop account in msn plus! . Don't know if it works though. The only way that I know off. Not that simple for just checking emails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favvi Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Is there a way to check your Gmail though msn messenger yet? you can use Msg Plus! along with PGTGM [pop goes the gmail] to recieve email, and configure your Msg Plus to check for email every xx time. PGTGM also has an option to do this as well.. i do believe this is the only way to implement this :unsure: Messenger Plus! PGTGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 But do i need to run that pop goes the gmail prog at the taskbar all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 But do i need to run that pop goes the gmail prog at the taskbar all the time? yes, you can hide it in XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 yes, you can hide it in XP [right click Star>Properties>Tasbar> Customize and set it to always hige the icon Yeah but then you got that arrow button which is just as bad as having the icon there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiftof Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 But do i need to run that pop goes the gmail prog at the taskbar all the time? Yep. It runs like a pop server locally on your pc. When it doesn't run then msg plus! can't connect to the pop server of 'pop goes to gmail' you inserted in the configuration. So it has to stay on all the time. But I didn't know about the option that oilslick mentioned of pgtg. Maybe that's what you want and then you don't need to have plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Yeah but then you got that arrow button which is just as bad as having the icon there true, but it is alot better than the actual icon i have multiple things hidden so it doesn't really bother me you can probably find a program on the net that hides the icon..search around [google perhaps] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 true, but it is alot better than the actual iconi have multiple things hidden so it doesn't really bother me you can probably find a program on the net that hides the icon..search around [google perhaps] cool, i'll try it and see if it works for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 cool, i'll try it and see if it works for me :D let me know if you find anything, would actually be great to get rid of that < icon! :yes: [that is if you are searching for a application to hide the icons :shifty: ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
