Function

MSN Messenger, now Windows Live, allows you to communicate with other users via video or text chat. You can use this program in-browser with a Hotmail email address, or as an external program, as you would with a Yahoo email address. When you log in with your Yahoo email address you can search through your Yahoo email address book to see who of your friends, family and colleagues are on Windows Live.
Types
-
You can use a Yahoo email address upon initial setup of Windows Live Messenger. You then use this address to log in to your account. You can also set your Yahoo email address to forward your mail to a Hotmail email account.

Misconceptions
-
While some believe that you can only use Yahoo email addresses for Yahoo programs (such as email and Yahoo Messenger), that is not the case. As long as your Yahoo email account is valid, you can use it to communicate with Windows Live Messenger. To sign up, download the program from Microsoft. Type your Yahoo email address in the field designated for your email address.
