SUMMARY

Beginning with Windows Messenger version 4.6, many features are available only as add-ins instead of being included in Windows Messenger by default. For example, Hotmail access is integrated directly into Windows Messenger 4.5. However, to access your Hotmail Inbox from Windows Messenger 4.6, you must first install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger. The MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger includes the following features:
  • E-mail integration
  • MSN Chat integration
  • MSN Profiles integration
  • MSN Mobile (paging) integration
  • MSN Headlines
