SixFootJockey Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Define 'for a while'.They have stopped allowing access to accounts like that that are not pretty damn old - my hotmail accounts are 9 and 7 years (or 8 and 6, something like that) old - yes, the first one I got was way before M$ took over / bought out hotmail - so newer accounts they have simply not allowed access to using WebDAV and OE/ Outlook / etc. However, with all three of mine, using the WebMail extension, I am checking them in Thunderbird - so all is good. 586763265[/snapback] Actually, I don't think the age of the account determines if you can use OE/OE Express with your Hotmail account. I am pretty sure it depends on if you had used OE/OE Express to access your Hotmail prior to when they restricted access. For example, I cannot use Outlook with my oldest Hotmail account because I have never used it with that account before. Whereas with my second account I started using Outlook with it before they restricted access, and now I use Outlook with it all the time. Kind of like if you missed the boat the first time, then you're never allowed on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngalt Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Interesting. Then I basically misinterpreted the letter they sent to me. Ah well, it's all good - I used it before, so I can still use it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zheng.93 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'm happy with mme good'ol hotmail.com atm. I don't think anybody would go to such an extent to get a @msn.com account. It's simply ridiculous (to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSapphire Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I caught onto this a long time ago because i've had paid msn accounts off and on on the old Msn Explorer. Yea but anyway who reallys wants an Msn email now and days anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riahc3 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I wonder if when mail goes out of beta if they will offer "@mail.com" addresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelFX Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 What's the point in having an msn email address instead of a hotmail one? 586720395[/snapback] Coz many @hotmail.com addresses are already taken, therefore U could get a @msn.com address instead. I have one coz I just wanna use it for IM. Anywayz, U could use any valid email address with MSN, U just need to verify it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navjot Singh Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I signed up using that link and it worked for me also :D . But 25MB is a dissappointment. Do we also can get a chance to preview Windows Mail Beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngoducthang Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 what's so good about having an msn.com compared to a hotmail.com? i know a similar question has been asked above, and the answer was some names are taken in hotmail, but my question is more like what is the good of it, are there any benefits to having msn over hotmail or is it just the same thing...

GhostWarrior25 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Its just the same thing pretty much, just a change of domain names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 i was just wondering .. is it possible to make an email account with your own domain name that works for msn .. for example anth@anth.com ... i think ive seen people with accounts like this before but im not to sure .. is this sort of thing possible? 586849233[/snapback] Yes - I use a gmail address to login to msn messenger. To do this, go to passport.microsoft.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
