MSN is three letters. HOTMAIL is seven letters. Shorter is better!

I signed up for an msn.com email at the link given here, but can't find the webpage to go to to get my email. Can somebody please post it here? Thank you.

i need to make a msn account and not a hotmail account and i've needed to do this many times before for other people. so for my like 10 times i've needed to do this it was always for myspace. people create accounts with no real email and the majority i guess just choose msn.com to end their fake email. which is fine until you forget the pass word and then its near imppossible to get an msn,com email. so theirs my reason and at least 10 other people i know reason's. thanks for the help

hope i have done it right

I do not recomend MSN.COM for free e-mail.
I got away using it for two years. When I needed it most,MSN pulled the plug.
I have party response coming in, I have relative that just had surgery, I have a stack of MSN,
e-mail that I can not read, and they do not care.
If you want them pay up the monthly dues.
I am going to work diligently to find the right,
free e-mail, and the domain wont matter.

I have had msn for years and love it! I am now trying to help someone who has hotmail, and he has nothing but problems with it. I am constantly helping him with problems that come up. ONE of the MOST ANNOYING and CONSTANT problems he has is that, when he goes to send an email, something comes up on the screen and he has to verify his account (which he does not understand or know how to do). I always do this for him (typing those hard-to-read letters), and then I send his email out and all is fine....until the next time! I have never had this problem with msn. I don't know if it's having a hotmail account instead of an msn account, but I came here to try to create the msn account to see if it would be uncomplicated and easier to use, and I saw there is a charge for this??? I really don't get it. Came across these questions and comments and was intrigued. Surprised to seer my question is not such an uncommon one....interesting. It's not the look or sound of msn for me...it's the ease and uncomplicated email experience I have with msn over what he has with hotmail. Also, my msn is FREE. I'd be interested to hear your opinion. Thank you for your time.

every one is welcome to the msn.com were u do not have to use abrower

One of the requirements for forwarding my hotmail to another account is that I create that account using msn.com or live.com. I tried to do that and came upon all this. You ask "why?" I ask the same! Why do you care? Do you really want to sit and read everyone life stories and excuses about "why"? If you can give technical assistance...please do so.

NOW IT'S 2009 AND YOU CAN'T MAKE NO MORE .COM ONLY .CO.UK

I love MSN.. I too have had it for years. I've had Earthlink before and it was miserable!:{
I also have an account with Yahoo-ok BUT nothing tops MSN...
So Leo, why do we care b/c even hot mail does not offer the best like MSN. ;o)
Sincerely,
Nancy- Happy customer

Ps. Your paying for good service!
