Gmail and MSN Messenger?

I know I have chatted with someone on MSN who was using a Gmail account, but that was a long time ago. I no longer have that address to find out how they got their Gmail account and MSN Messenger to work.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Gmail account to work with MSN Messenger, if so how?

TIA, L J

Go here http://messenger.msn.com/download/ and click register your own e-mail address.

I have one more question- do you know how long on average it takes for Microsfot to verify an e-mail address? I have tried to verify my e-mail address a few times around 10:00 am today, it claimed they sent me the e-mail, it's 2:00pm now, I haven't got anything. . . I've recieved other e-mails, but nothing from MS.

Any idea how long this process takes?

TIA, L J

Sorry, I don't know. I have never done that before.
I just saw the option there.

Just wondering for future reference. Did that work for you, did it go through?

Thats what I had thought, but it did eventually show up a day or two later. . . I do have my Gmail working with MSN, so there is no more need for me to keep my hotmail account, yay! I wonder if MS just doesn't like the Gmail accounts or something.

They might not because they compete with hotmail but I don't think that should have the biggest effect.

stellar queen, you need to start a new thread with this question not add to existing threads that are unrelated. I'm deleting your other post.
