@Simon: ^^ Your @live.com account already has Windows Live Mail access. Go ahead, go through the seemingly "Hotmail"-ish registration, only to find you actually have Windows Live Mail Beta access :p At least, that's my experience with @live.com addresses; the country identifiers might come into play here...[and as the topic poster says, @windowslive.com currently doesn't co-operate with WLMail out of the bag just yet..]

Excellent!

Now, I just want my Windows Live Mail back! Someone want to send me an invite? I'd appreciate it a lot.

if you just signed up and got a live.com....just go to hotmail.com and sign in with it...its is the live mail..I just got a @live.com address and went to hotmail.com and signed in with it.

I get this error:

We're unable to retrieve information for this section at this time. We're sorry for the inconvenience, please try again later.

That's strange...

This happened to me, I went to the old MSN Account Services and it asked for my D.O.B & country. once they're filled in, I was able to then view the live.com edit page. Previously I got the same error.

You need to export them via the contacts menu (save), then delete them all and finally re-import them via the contacts menu

cool, i got my live account!

Some of my input:

If you receive "this doesn't apply to your account" message, simply logout and clear your cookies...Then relogin from live.login.com and continue with steps 3 and on.

We're unable to retrieve information for this section at this time. We're sorry for the inconvenience, please try again later.

If you receive this error or another after you get to the login change area and hit the "accept" button below...(Specifically the error will be in the area were "availibilty" messages are received) wait a few minutes and more than likely it goes through. (Mine worked successfully after recieving this error, simply go back to the login.live.com area and try and login with your @live.com account to see if it verified)

Also make sure all certificates are allowed in Firefox browsers.

EDIT: You can login to hotmail.com with your @live.com account, it simply redirects you to windows live mail.

manduck: yes you choose "register a new ID" then you input an existing NON-HOTMAIL/LIVE MAIL email address (for example [email protected])

this will register it for passport, then follow the other steps and change the address to @live.com

Then the non-hotmail / live mail address will be disassociated from Passport and you have a nice new @live.com email :D

there currently is no way to get it to forward to your existing hotmail / live mail account :p

after this wat should i do...sum one helpp

Register a new id as it is selected already on your screenshot. It will ask you for an email address you want to assiciate with passport (a NON-MSN/HOTMAIL email address). So put in any other email addresses you have (GMail, Yahoo, email from your ISP, whatever). Fill the remaining of the form out, and then follow the steps.

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
