can u add other than @hotmail by kingboy on 07-24-2004 at 08:55 AM

is it possible to add a contact with a domain other than @hotmail/@msn? There are some bots that use @*******.tk and stuff. I would realy like to use them:)

sure you can :), as long as the e-mailaddress has a .net passport you can add it.

Well, you have to register at http://www.passport.net with any mail account and you'll be able to use it as your Messenger Passport address.

To add a contact without a hotmail address just type email@nothotmail.com address in the add contacts box

He is absolutely correct. If you wish to add someone to your contact list, regardless of whether what email address he is using, just add them. Why would that be false information? :-/

what are you saying? no elite member said anything wrong.

In fact, the messenger addresses are only normal email addresses. Most people use @hotmail.com or @msn.com but using @what.ever.com is also possible. You can add/delete/talk with/block... them as if they were "usual" addresses (@homail.com or @msn.com). You can also, as it's been said, create your own "personal" address. You have to register it (create a .net passport) and you're done ;)

I've just realised what an idiot I am. I thought he was joking saying you actually had to put the @nothotmail bit. But it is all so clear now.
