Description of the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger
This article was previously published under Q314353
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
You can install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger by using either of the following methods:
- If the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger is not already installed on your computer, you are prompted to download it from the Add-in Web site when you attempt to use a feature that is provided by an MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger. Follow the instructions on the Add-in Web site to install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger.
- In Windows Messenger 4.6, click Add-In Web Site on the Tools menu. To download the add-in and to get more information, click click here to learn more, and then follow the instructions on how to install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger.
When you install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger, E-mail integration, MSN Chat, MSN Profiles, MSN Mobile Paging, and MSN Headlines are automatically enabled.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows Messenger 4.6

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
