MemberI know if you don’t sign into your Hotmail account, they will close it, but that doesn’t stop people from adding you to MSN Messenger. Is there a way to close the .NET passport of a hotmail address so that if someone was to add me to an old email, it would say the account no longer exsists?
Thanks.

KeymasterLogin to your Hotmail account, click the Help link, then follow the instructions to close your account. Theoretically this will work, although I haven’t tried it. Read carefully — you MIGHT close the account for everything, and not just Hotmail.

MemberCorrection! If you close your hotmail account you are still able to signin to MSN and this remains like this for years 😎
Accounts which I closed last year and never bothered to check my mail box are still working with MSN even after I closed them probably thats because of HTTPS authentication on nexus in MSN protocol.However if your account is a ‘just’ a passport like something other than hotmail, MSN or passport domain e.g blahblah@yahoo.com which you get registered from http://www.passport.com, these accounts are when closed. Your reverse list is cleared which means you’re deleted from everyone’s contact list and you cant signin to MSN. People can still add you to their list though.
Weird huh?

MemberYa see, that’s my problem. I want to close all .NET services including Messenger. My Hotmail address has expired, so I don’t need to worry about email, it’s just it still seems people are adding me to an older account. Obvisiously, when ever I sign into that account, I can tell them, or email them, but is there so simple way to delete the .NET services account associated with Messenger, along with Hotmail?

MemberI think you should contact MSN/Hotmail support team.
Can anyone get my friend the URL to support page of hotmail or MSN?March 25, 2004 at 4:22 am #82564 -
