Change Sign in email address

[J. Pack]

Simple question: I have a passport and I sign in to
Messenger with my email address. How do I change my
email address to another one without signing up for a new
passport?

That got it! Thanks a lot!

Greetings,

To do this, first, you need to save your contact list

(it'll be deleted if you don't). Sign

into Messenger using your current Passport, click the

File menu and then select Save Contact

List (if you're using MSN Messenger 6, click the

Contacts menu instead of the File menu). The

default filename should be fine, and just save it on

your Desktop. If you don't yet have a

contact list, you can skip this. Go to the Desktop and

verify that the file was created.

If you do have contacts, you'll want to delete them off

your main contact list (after you've

saved them), so that they can remove the "wrong" address

off their lists completely. Just

right-click each contact, and choose Delete.

Then, go to:
http://memberservices.passport.com/memberservice.srf and select 'Edit my .NET Passport
profile' and then under your current e-mail address

click 'I want to change this', and enter

the new e-mail address.

Then, sign-in to your new Passport in Messenger (click

the 'Automatically sign me in' if you

have Messenger automatically sign-in). Then, click the

File menu, then select Import Contacts

from a Saved File (again, if using MSN Messenger 6, use

the Contacts menu instead), then

locate the file you just saved on your desktop and

select it. Your contacts will be readded,
