new e-mail warning with a non-hotmail address by ricklevy on 08-11-2004 at 05:20 PM
I used to use MSN Messenger (without MSN Plus yet) with a Hotmail account, and every time a new e-mail arrived in my mail box and I was with the Messenger connected, I received an advice of "New E-mail".
Now I criated another accound in MSN Messenger (with an Gmail address) through Passport.net and I'm using it, I've already insert some contacts, etc..... but I don't receive any advice each time a new e-mail arrives me to this Gmail account, even I'm connected with this address, different of what used to heappen with the hotmail account.
Does anyone knows if there's any way that we can receive warning of new e-mail if we're using an account different of hotmail?
PS - I'm not talking about POP3 Servers, just like Outlook.... it's on web even .

Impossible...
MSN Messenger only supports hotmail to check your email, nothing more...
With Plus! you can however extend that feature to POP3-emails. (and there is a program that you can use so you can check your gmail (which isn't pop3 btw) with the pop3 feature of Plus!, search the forum for this program or a link to it)

Not at the moment, but Google believes in helping people access information whenever and however they want to do so. In the future you will be able to access Gmail messages from non-Gmail accounts for free or at a nominal fee.
