Not more Hotmail on Windows Messenger 5.0?

[Ermanno Bonifazi]

Previusly I've Windows Messenger 4.6 (that permit to connect to our Exchange
Server) with MSN Add-in so I can connect to my Hotmail account too. WIth
this add-in I see as email inbox my Hotmail inbox and I get notification
when new hotmail message arrive. Since I've installed Windows Messenger 5.0
I can connect bot to Exchange and MSN Servive but seems that there is no way
to see as my email inbox the hotmail inbox, in fact it open my local
Outlook profile.

Upgrade to Msngr 6.0

Greetings Ermanno,

Unfortunately Exchange users (since Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger 4.6 will no longer be
supported in a month) will need to upgrade to Windows Messenger 5 (as you've done), which
does not have support for MSN features, like MSN Mobile, MSN Profiles or MSN Hotmail.

The only real solution is to install MSN Messenger 6 (which will not upgrade your Windows
Messenger 5 client, nor does it have Exchange support) and use it to connect to the public
..NET Messenger client and then use Windows Messenger 5 (you can use both at the same time),
to just connect to your Exchange IM server.
