Do you know how to get an email address @msn.com?
I’ve tried it a lot of times but can’t really get it, I always get @hotmail.com.Do you know any other tricks to get @msn.com address? I’ve tried going to MSN.com and tried registering, and it told me to put a non-hotmail/msn/passport.com email! Which is just to register an existing address with .NET!
Thanks for your help!
June 11, 2003 at 9:23 pm #95122mariettelarkinMemberI believe you have to subscribe to MSN, in other words have them as your isp. I have an MSN email and I am a subscriber. 😉
June 11, 2003 at 9:32 pm #95121magistykMemberEr… No, you don’t. I have a @msn.com email but I don’t remember how I got it. I’ll look around.
When you try creating a .NET Passport and you have to type in your email address, what exactly does it say when you type in a new email @msn.com.
Please copy and paste the message.
June 11, 2003 at 9:55 pm #95126FaizanMemberIt says that @msn.com/@hotmail.com/@passport.com are part of the reserved domains. And that I have to put my own in!
June 12, 2003 at 12:29 pm #95130ruffdawgMember1 easy way that im positive that will work is if you own MSN Explorer. I believe that there is a free version that ou can just download. When you install it, you will find a button at the home screen that says ‘add user’ and click that, it will bring you to a registration page much like hotmail but instead, giving you a @msn email. hope this helps!
June 12, 2003 at 6:34 pm #95125FaizanMemberThanks! I’ll try and install MSN Explorer!
June 12, 2003 at 7:45 pm #95128DavidParticipantWhy do you want MSN anyway? Just use an outside POP3 E-Mail and register it at |www.passport.com|.
June 12, 2003 at 7:53 pm #95124FaizanMemberNever mind!
I’ll use hotmail! :'(June 12, 2003 at 8:39 pm #95120magistykMemberHotmail sucks, too much SPAM damnit! The first hour my new account was opening (never signed up for anything or gave it to anyone, didn’t even use it) I had 5 junk mail emails! Those bastards are somehow giving out hotmail addresses or something.
June 13, 2003 at 12:41 am #95132d0rkaliciousMemberNo, no, no… I have an @msn.com account, and I’ve always had one. It’s better than an @hotmail account, I think at least. Well anyway… there is a simple way to get it without downloading MSN or anything.
Just got to hotmail.com, and where it says for you to sign-in, just enter you desired username @msn.com with your desired password. If it is not taken, then it gives you some choices to what you can do. One of them is: Register for a .NET Passport now if you don’t have one. Click the link to register. It will get you to a regester form that you can enter all your information in. There is only difference from this form and the regular sign up form. Where it says Account Information » Sign-in Name, it says @msn.com instead of @hotmail.com.
Try doing this and it will get you a brand new, spiffy @msn.com email address! -Alicia

June 13, 2003 at 6:11 pm #95131d0rkaliciousMemberWell, you’re welcome guys!
