To use MSN Messenger, you must have a
Microsoft Passport™ account, Hotmail account,
or a Microsoft Exchange e-mail account. If you
have a Hotmail
®
or MSN account, you already
have a Passport. Once you have obtained either
a Microsoft Passport or a Microsoft Exchange
account, you are ready to set up your account.
