How can I change my email address on the Messenger?

Thanks.

Greetings,

Note: you cannot changed a MSN.com or Hotmail.com address, you'll have to make a new one if
you wish to do this, and then export/import your contact list to the new one (see below).

First, you need to save your contact
list (they'll be deleted if you don't). Sign into Messenger using your current Passport,
click the File menu and then select Save Contact List. The default filename should be fine,
and just save it on your Desktop. If you don't yet have a contact list, you can skip this.
Go to the Desktop and verify that the file was created.

If you do have contacts, you'll want to delete them off your main contact list (after you've
saved them), so that they can remove the "wrong" address off their lists completely. Just
right-click each contact, and choose Delete.

Then, go to:
http://memberservices.passport.com/memberservice.srf and select 'Edit my .NET Passport
profile' and then under your current e-mail address click 'I want to change this', and enter
the new address.

Then, sign-in to your new Passport in Messenger (your new verification e-mail should be
arriving shortly). Then, click the File menu, then select Import Contacts from a Saved File,
then locate the file you just saved on your desktop and select it. Your contacts will be
readded, and they'll all need to add the new name to their list.
