The reason many people want an email address with the @msn domain is not just because the name is shorter or easier to type. While this is true for a lot of people, a ton of people are unable to get their own name (eg johndoe@hotmail.com) because the amount of hotmail users means most common IDs are already taken. @msn is a less popular address and so, users have a higher chance of registering for an ID they actually want that doesn't have 10,000 numbers and underscores after it.

My thoughts are that Windows XP only allows me to set my default e-mail as windows Explorer e-mail, Windows Live, or Outlook Express, which makes it incompatible with my Olympus Master program for e-mailing pictures. I have used the free aol.com e-mail for years via the internet, but no longer have the software on the computer that would allow me to use it as a default. Oooops, my bad.

here's how to get an email address @msn.com click or copy & paste this link.

Another reason that people want an @msn.com email addresses is that they are former subscribers to MSN's internet service and they want to keep their old email address after leaving.

I also own an @msn.com id & I believe its prestegiours because its somewhat difficult to get than the normal @hotmail.com id.
since if there are 100 people using @hotmail.com id u'll find less than 3 people using @msn.com id. so they posses greater knowledge of internet & they are really aesthetic & believe in working for the best!

The reason I prefer and msn.com email address to a hotmail.com email address is that my company blocks emails I send to "non business" email addresses such as yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com, et cetera. Apparently, msn.com is a legitimate business email domain to email filtering programs. That's an excellent reason to prefer an msn.com email address over a hotmail.com email address!

I had problems receiving emails from free email accounts at my workploace due to the filters the company had in place. MSN emails will come thru, but not hotmail or yahoo account emails. This may be a reason many people find it worthwhile to pay for the MSN account.

I'm starting my own consulting business and I need to be able to access my e-mail from anywhere in the world; however, an address with hotmail.com is usually preceived as a personal e-mail account and I need to be preceived as having a business e-mail

Because yahoo.com, gmail.com hotmail.com sound and look like teenage free email accounts, I am a little bit more mature and like an email address that looks a little mor business like.
