MSN and Hotmail are the same service with different domain names. Now, they have added a new one to their ever extending list: live. So, now you have the choice of being blank@hotmail.com, blank@msn.com, and blank@live.com. Boy, why do they need so many? Sheesh.

Unfortunately, once you have an e-mail address, it cannot be changed. There is an option though, if you are wanting to combine the two, mail out an email to all the ones you want to have your new e-mail address to and delete the other one. Although, you can still try and make the other one the same. Say you have blank@msn.com and now you have blank1@hotmail.com, you can create another e-mail account for blank1@msn.com. Did that make sense?

I do believe with all three, you can still use msn messenger. So, that may be a plus. Good Luck!!

Well I misunderstood your question earlier.
hotmail is an msn mail service. If MSN is
your internet service provider then you may
have to call them to get a change of address.

Better yet, keep the hotmail addy for newsletters
and junk like that. Then inbox this question to
theymos who can help you if anyone can. He knows
everything. :)
