Windows Messenger and Hotmail

[Kara]

Hi,
I used to be able to receive alerts when I got email in my Hotmail
account via Windows Messenger. After installing SP2 and the update for
Windows Messenger, I can no longer receive these alerts. Furthermore, when I
click on the "My Email Inbox" thingy, it brings up Outlook, which I also use,
but I want Windows Messenger to be tied to my Hotmail account. Can anyone
help?

Thanks!

after sp2 windows messenger no longer supports plugins "hotmail etc" you
need to use old version, or better yet just use msn messenger it still works
with hotmail.
real bummer!!
