You're not alone. I'm having the same problem. Messanger was alerting me
about new MSN emails fine until monday. It just displays Go to my e-mail
inbox. Clicking on that just takes me to my Outlook 2002 inbox, not my MSN
email. I haven't been able to find anything about it on the web.

Greetings Mohamed,

The e-mail option will only work if you're using an active Hotmail.com/MSN.com passport. If
you are using a Hotmail.com/MSN.com Passport, you can check that it is active by going to
http://www.hotmail.com, logging in and trying to get to the Inbox. If your account isn't
active, you'll be given a chance to reactivate it. If you did need to reactivate it, you'll
need to sign out and back in to Messenger to see the e-mail notifications.

I'm having the same problem and I check my MSN Hotmail account daily. The
problem seems to have started for me on Monday. I've had the feature work
fine for months before that.
