On making new MSN e-mail addresses....

I don't know about bookmarks, &c. -- though if they're set up in MSIE, they should be fine -- but you can just "Add a New User" through MSN Explorer. (I think there's a limit of 8 or 9.) I've done this just once, and I found it a bit of a pain, but it did work, and it made totally separate e-mail accounts. Just go into MSN Explorer and look for "Add New User" in the upper-right corner. (There may be some maneuvering involved if you have a version different from mine. MSN doesn't make *anything* easy!)

NB: Sometimes Outlook X gets confused and mixes up the accounts or doubles messages. It's stupid, but it doesn't happen all that often.

NB: This means adding a new account to your MSN e-mail, NOT adding a new user/logon to your Windows (XP). *That* is an umitigated and dangerous mess. Good luck!

hey how can i change my email name and still have all my contacts still there on the same email but diferent e. plaer_ink@hotmail.com to something else.

All the more reason to NEVER EVER use the email address from your ISP. I've been saying this for years. Don't offer them the power to extort you. Always use an email provider distinct from your ISP. For a few bucks a year ($35 including anon domain registration and linux web hosting) you can setup your own vanity email service. You get these fun additional advantages:

- As many email aliases and POP/IMAP accounts as you please
- Easily add more mail storage
- Finer grain control over antispam settings (SpamAssassin, DCC, Razor2 etc)

So you AND your family can have the email usernames of their choosing!

how to make an account ending @msn.com for free of course

There are no free msn.com accounts.

please add ricky64@hotmail.com

Is there a way to subscribe to MSN without using hotmail. That means to have an email address ending with @msn.com and not hotmail.com

It depends on what you mean by subscribing to MSN.

@msn.com addresses are not free ... you must sign up with MSN and have them be your ISP.

You can use any email address to use MSN's Passport service for things like MSN Instant messenger and the like.
