Does cancellation of hotmail account result in termination of .NET Passport by Old Nick on 02-24-2005 at 11:03 PM
Recently our hotmail accounts have been suspended (now re-activated). I presume that if ignored they would have eventually been cancelled. Would this result in termination of our .NET Passports and hence inability to use Windows/MSN Messengers?

If you're signing into Messenger with that account, it won't be terminated I don't think: just the inbox will be wiped.

im pretty sure it wipes the whole account plus the .Net passport

In have just had my question answered by Jonathan Kay, Microsoft MVP (mcrosoft.public.windowsxp.messenger news group). He states:
Your Passport won't be immediately cancelled when your Hotmail account expires (and continuing to log into Messenger even after your Hotmail Inbox has been deleted -will- keep the Passport active).
Microsoft really only deletes a Passport after it's been inactive (not-signed in) for a year or so (I'm not exactly sure of the time frame right now).
