From what I figured during the last 2 days of research, Hotmail has added a whole lot of free mail providers to a list of blocked domains. These include gmx and aol, meaning with a Live ID from these providers you can sign in at live services such as the windows live website, but you can NOT - send mail from such account to any account @hotmail.com, or any of its sub-sites such as live.com. - sign it at Windows Messenger or Live Messenger. I don´t know if they actually ment to disable all Messenger users with Live ID´s from these blocked domains or maybe that´s just an unwanted side effect of the Hotmail list. I don´t know if they are going to fix it, but as of right now it is just like that, if you want to use Messenger, you have to have a Live ID that is not blocked by the Hotmail spam list. Thomas |

| | Re: cannott sign into messenger You don´t have to make a new messenger account to get a new Live ID. Even though they don´t work in Messenger anymore, you can still log in at the Windows Live website and change the mail address there. That keeps all your contacts and even automatically updates your address for the contacts. All you have to do is to get a mail address that isn´t on the blocked list.
