I signed up with one email address. Now I want to change
the email address I use and can't find a way to do it.
anybody out there who knows how to do this?
 
Greetings,

To do this, Sign into Messenger using your current Passport, click the File menu (or Contacts
menu if you're using MSN Messenger 6) and then select Save Contact List. The default filename
should be fine, and just save it on your Desktop. 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 "old" 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 address.

Then, sign-in to your new Passport in Messenger (click the 'Sign me in automatically').
Then, click the File menu (or Contacts menu if you're using MSN Messenger 6), then select
Import Contacts from a Saved File, then locate the file you just saved on your desktop and
select it. Your contacts will be readded, and they'll all need to add the new name to their
list.
