Multiple accounts on WindowsLive! ...?

Jingo · 20-09-2008, 11:31

Can anybody here scour their geek-brain-zones and tell me whether or not it is possible to run more than 1 version of WindowsLive!/MSN on your computer at the same time??

I like to have my normal chittychat account open but would like to be informed realtime of any incoming emails on my 'business' email account - Ideally I would have just setup my business email to Outlook Express but outlook no longer accepts pop3 mailservers

Any ideas boys & girls of the boat?

Cheers

Download, run, enable Polygamy.

Are you sure they removed POP3 from Outlook, or do you just mean Outlook Express?

Mark as far as i'm aware WindowsLive is different to windows live messenger, unless James has confused them anyway.

Ah, very good point there. Best option may be a proper copy of Outlook then as that'll handle multiple e-mail accounts.

So will Trillian.

Thanks chaps - to clarify - I am talking about windows live messenger

I decided upon a quick fix of using aMsn and windows live messenger at the same time but having had a nosey at Trillian I'm going to download and have a little explore!

Cheers,

I love my Trillian. Got two MSN's, two Yahoo's and an ICQ running all through one little program. It gives me e-mail alerts on each of them as well.

Hmmm maybe it's me being a bit of a poo-tard, but I couldn't quite understand how to setup two msn accounts on trillian...

Darrin, if you're feeling charitable and wouldn't mind letting me know how to do this, I'd appreciate a PM / add to msn to talk through etc

Much love - the technosloth!

Well, open Trillian contact list. Click Trillian drop-down menu. Hover Connections side menu, click "Manage my Connections...", then go to "Add a new connection" and fill out the info required. Voile'.
