You can use any e-mail address on msn meenger. The steps are simple.

Step 1. Go to groups.msn.com , click the "Sign In" button, and where it says e-mail and password, try to sign in with your yahoo account, and it's password. It will tell you that the name and or password was incorrect, with a message in red letters saying the following:

"Type your .NET Passport sign-in e-mail address and password correctly. Remember, passwords are case-sensitive."

After you see this, click the link underneath it that says "Register with .Net passport if you haven't already"

After clicking the link, it will bring you to a registration page. Just put your yahoo e-mail address where it says E-mail address, password where it says password, and so on. You will also put your yahoo email address as your electronic signature. After clicking I agree, then it will be registered with .Net

Step 2. Sign into MSN Messenger using your yahoo account, and your msn name will be your email address with (Email address Not Verified) next to it. THat's when you go to File, then click "Verify My E-Mail Address" After doing so, It will send the verification notice to the e-mail address you regitered with, which would be your yahoo account. Go to your Yahoo inbox and follow the instructions in the e-mail. After verificatiopn, you can sign onto MSN Messenger with your Yahoo account freely! Just like it was a hotmail passport.

Any question or problems, e-mail me at cory.thielen@gmail.com

okay, i did that, but it never sent a vefification email to my yahoo account, and i can't change my msn title because of it. Is there a way to get passport.net to send a verification out to me?
