As I have mentioned in previous post, it pays to get a good and decent MSN account. However, what happened if your MSN account is not the exactly the most professional looking? Well… I have discovered several options you can have.

Make a new account and import your existing contact people to new account. Dump the old account

Just google ‘creating new windows live account’ and ‘exporting and importing msn contact’

Make a new account and keep the old account. Add necessary contact the more professional account manually. Use Messenger Plus! To run two account concurrently.

Google ‘messenger plus!’

If you use email OTHER than @hotmail.com / @live.com / @msn.com as your live ID, go to account setting and click ‘change’ (see picture)

I forgot the sequence but you could easily find it in. In short you can change your abc@def.com live id into 123@456.com easily. I would not recommend you to change to @hotmail.com / @live.com / @msn.com though for reason I will mentioned shortly.

If you use @hotmail.com / @live.com / @msn.com, create a new live ID and use TrueSwitch to seamlessly migrate to another @hotmail.com / @live.com / @msn.com live id account.

Notice that Microsoft will not allow you to use another email as your live id. Once you are in their domain, you will be trapped there forever. Smart. Penalizing their loyal underlings for being loyal.

Happy migrating from your old msn account.
