No email notification in Win dows Messenger 5.0

[El]

When I had Windows Messenger 4.7 I received hotmail
notification but since I upgraded to 5.0, I don't have
this any longer. Can you tell me how to get it back
since I sure miss this feature. When I tried to go back
to 4.7, a window came up and asked if I was sure I wanted
to do this since I would lose instant messaging. I
didn't want to take a chance so didn't do the download.
Please help. Thanks in advance for any help.

El

Greetings El,

Windows Messenger 5 does not support the Hotmail integration features in anyway. To
get this feature back, you'll either need to install and use MSN Messenger 6
(http://messenger.msn.com/Download) or go back to Windows Messenger 4.7. To do so, click
Start, then Run, type (or copy/paste) the following:
msiexec.exe /x {ABEB838C-A1A7-4C5D-B7E1-8B4314B10138}
and then click OK.

Then, you can reinstall Windows Messenger 4.7 from here:

After installing Windows Messenger 4.7, you'll need the MSN Add-In (Add-Ins are not supported
in Windows Messenger 5):
