auto email sign in

[Benjamin Colyer]

my msn messenger version is 6.0. i used to use it all
the time to automatically sign into my msn hotmail
account all the time by just clicking on the email icon,
or it would check to see when i had mail. so just all of
a sudden it stops checking my mail, and when i do click
on the mail icon in the main window it takes me to my
outlook program, not hotmail. also, the wording next to
the mail icon says "go to my email inbox," not "no new
messages" /or "1 new messages." i've tried looking the
in the preferences, but i do not see any prefs that fix
this...

how can i fix this?!

Greetings Benjamin,

Assuming you're using an Hotmail.com/MSN.com Passport, you can check that it is active by
going to http://www.hotmail.com, logging in and trying to get to the Inbox. After this,
you'll need to sign out and back in to update Messenger to see the e-mail notifications.
