Shoutbox

I had the same problem and I found what worked. On the left side of the messenger window is an icon of a bell. This icon is used for setting up alerts. When you click on it, you are taken to the alerts web site where you can sign up for an alert. Pick an alert to subscribe to (it's free). Follow the prompts and you will eventually be asked where you would like the alerts to be sent. If you select email and the email is not verified, it will send the email verification to you. If you want, you can then unsubscribe from the alert.

My whole office had this problem, because the system admin that was here before did not allow outside email. Here is how to have Microsoft resend the Verification email. I searched for hours, and finally stumpled across this.

hi i have registered a fake address at live.com i use aurora.project@nasa.gov as my msn mail.  of course this adress does not exist so i can not verify it. so my question is: can i, somehow, trace the email which has been sent to my address? so i can read it and follow the link inside it. plz help. thx in advance (p.s. Messenger Plus! rules!)

No. The email will just get bounced back to them when it's found AFAIK

Are you trying to have access to the inbox of an email address that doesn't exist?

If you have no way to receive email on the address you are using you cant confirm your account. If it's not an @msn.* or @live.* address you will need to arrange email accass yourself. How you do that depends on your situation. If you own the domain of the address you could use a service like Google apps or windows live domains to create an emailbox. If you don't own the domain, ask the admin how to access your email. If the admin doesn't give you an mailbox or you don't know who controls the domain you're out of luck.

Expanding on Menthix's post, if you create a Google Mail account, and use that for the verification of your non-@hotmail/live/msn.com address, that would be one solution to your issues.

It is probably easier if you just use the normal @hotmail/msn/live email adresses. But that's up to you of course.

hi, I done all the suggestions listed in this thread, I verified my email addy and they told me it was already verified/didnt need to be verified, however i STILL cannot change my display name in messenger...im just about ready to delete it n go back to the old one.

Any suggestions?

please and thanks!!!

I just registered on MSN.
They told me to verify your email address first and for that you have to check your inbox.
When I tried to go to the inbox, they are telling me to verify first again.
I again sent an verification message and try to go to my inbox, the same thing comes all over again, first verify.
How do I get through it? Please help.
