hello, i read the article, but i cannot figure where exactly the answers are. my question is, if i have a yahoo email, can i still use it in MSn messenger?

Yes. As the article says, you use it when you create a Passport account, which is what's used to login to messenger.

Hi All,
i guess it might be good news... or u may find it bad... who cares... the people at yahoo messenger and msn messenger have geared up, and are working on a soutions already, so your your yahoo messenger can have msn buddies, and msn messenger can have yahoo contacts... cool? i think so, thay say should be launched mid of april, but my guess is... not before end of june - july. so soon, whether u have yahoo or msn won't matter, because u'd b able to communicate with either of them through one messenger!

These questions are non-sensical.

I find I have problems when people add my xxx@yahoo.com address to their MSN. I don't think MSN Messenger knows if it is a .net MSN Messenger account or if it is a Yahoo Messenger account.

That's a little confusing, I've had trouble in the past getting people to add me. It's a big wack.

Yahoo! IM v8 now lets you add Windows Live (formerly Passport) accounts and send instant messages to those accounts ... if they are using Windows Live Messenger v8.

Same thing the other way around (Windows Live Messenger v8 lets you add Yahoo! accounts, but those will only be received if the user is using Yahoo! IM v8).

Hi. Good articles. I can't find a link that allows me to create a .NET passport for non hotmail addresses - it seems that we're locked-in (which I find very disagreeable). Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

I was wondering if I appear online to both my msn and yahoo buddies when I use MSN live?
