EriktheRed is on a distinguished road
Is it still possible to use a GMail account for MSN/Windows Live Messenger?

Hi,

I know that it used to be, but I didn't know about it myself until recently. I haven't found any information from after the year 2005 regarding the subject, so I figured I'd ask.

Attempting to register a Passport with GMail gives me this error:
Quote:
The portion of your e-mail address that follows the @ symbol is part of a "reserved domain" such as live.com, hotmail.com, msn.com or passport.com. Please type a different e-mail address.
So, does anyone know if it can still be done?

Setting up an MSN Messenger account with your Gmail account is still possible. You need to setup a hotmail passport or something like that using your gmail e-mail. The link to do this is right here: http:\\www.passport.com

I'm sure this still works because I just did it with my new e-mail a few days ago.
