hey i would like to know how to delte contacts from my hotmail address book without deleting them from msn messenger? is there a way to do that? thanks

he's right if you add windows live it gives you the option of exporting the address book it's a doddle...

Leo , I have lost my email account that I had with hotmail , I changed my password as I was away on vacation and gave a family member my password , and decided to change it on return ( as you never know ) have not been able to get any email or face book for aweek , so I started a new email what do I do about all my email that Ive not seen PKVP

I am damn angry, when I moved three months ago, I switched from DSL to Cable 1. To keep my e-mail addresses I have to accept outlook express, which somehow gave me, as I understand, hotmail,
which I know nothing about, it was automatic.
Now today I wake up, I have "NO" e-mail I can receive, I can't even review. My son-in-law says now I have to spend $20 to receive e-mail.
I don't want hotmail, never did, how do I go about it, what is the procedure? Do I have to contact Cable One, or drop both and go back to DSL? Please explain.....

First, it's unlikely you HAD to do any of those things. What probably happened
is that your old email address was with your old ISP ... meaning that if you
change ISPs you need to change your email address.

The idea behind HotMail, or GMail or any of the free email services is that
they are not related to your ISP. They're just web sites that you can visit
using any ISP. I suspect someone suggested that as one solution to your problem
so that you would have to change your email address only this one time.

Outlook Express is not required. Hotmail can be accessed via the Web at
hotmail.com. Gmail at gmail.com. Yahoo mail at mail.yahoo.com. And so on.
Simply create an email account at one of those free web mail services and
you're on your way.

It's likely that your NEW ISP has assigned you a new email address already.
You'll need to check with them. You could choose to use that - or not. That
will likely require an email program like Outlook Express (or Windows Live
Mail, or Thunderbird, or Outlook, or Eudora, or any of a hundred others) to
download your email to your machine without using web-based email.

Basically you have many, many choices, and the majority are totally free. It
all depends on what specifically you want to do.
