Net Passport and MSN messenger

We have Windows Pro and Office 2003, (I have not used Windows Meesenger)
when I log onto my computer, Messenger
automatically signs onto my hotmail account, which is what I want, but when
I click onto the e-mail messages via MSN Messenger I get redirected to a
site
where (via Net Passport) I have the option to log on using another account
or log in with this account, I have used both routes and both take me to my
Hotmail messages. The only difference appears to be that one system (ie Net
passport and Messenger) have been set up using capitals within my e-mail
name and the other with lower case.
What would be the easiest (and correct method) route to fix this problem ie
via Net Passport or via Messenger? and does anyone know how I can do that?
Thanks, and I hope I have posted this to the correct room.
Regards

Greetings Allistair (and allistair),

You may just have the option in MSN Messenger to automatically "verify" your e-mail address
before it lets you into Hotmail. To check open up the main Messenger window (double-click
the icon in the notification area/system tray, by the clock), click the Tools menu, then
Options, then Privacy tab, and verify that "Always ask me for my password when checking
Hotmail or opening other .NET Passport-enabled Web pages" is *not* checked.
