Can't Access my old Hotmail based messenger since I switch to MSN TMData 5/24/2007 11:39:00 PM Recently change my ISP to [ at ]msn.com. Previously I had used Messenger under a Hotmail acct. Now when I log in to MSN Mail and try to login to my [ at ]hotmail.com messenger acct, it automatically switches to my [ at ]msn.com login. Initially my [ at ]hotmail acct login shows up. When I 'Sign In', it greys out and load [ at ]MSN.Com If I exit my MSN acct mail account, then I can log in to my [ at ]hotmail messenger based messenger. How can I stay on line with my MSN Mail AND monitor messenger as [ at ]hotmail?

Unfortunately when logged into the this software, Messenger will inherit what account you're signed in under. To directly answer your question, you can't. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.

Re: Can't Access my old Hotmail based messenger since I switch to TMData 5/25/2007 4:00:01 AM What is the best way to 'Add' a contact to the 'new' messenger system. I have added contacts to Messenger under the MSN client but I can not 'see' the contacts on line. I don't know what I'm missing.

Re: Can't Access my old Hotmail based messenger since I switch to TMData 5/26/2007 4:08:07 AM I noticed this afternoon that my existing imported contacts did not give me the option of sending an invitation e-mail. This option only existed on the 'new' contacts. Is There a way around having to delete and re-add my contacts?
