-- Posted by Daveh at 8:33 am on April 27, 2008 Hello Everyone! I've set up my proper email today at www.gmx.com and have configured it to work with my thunderbird program. but i'm wanting to start using instant messengers like windows live messenger. I've installed it but it wants me to register another email with @live or @hotmail. I'm happy with my gmx email, and the email i would want at live or hotmail is allready taken. so can anyone tell me how i can use my gmx email with a instant messenger? i'll reward points to people for helping me, i've got 110 to give away.   -- Posted by crimsonnk at 8:35 am on April 27, 2008 if you have a password to the @gmx one just try sign in with it, if it doesnt work its not compatible -- Posted by RubberTrees at 8:37 am on April 27, 2008 Try the name you want backwards or in Pig Latin. -- Posted by JeremyM at 12:54 pm on April 29, 2008 Quote: from crimsonnk at 11:35 am on April 27, 2008 if you have a password to the @gmx one just try sign in with it, if it doesnt work its not compatible Ha, don't follow this person's directions. Unfortunately, you must use a hotmail, passport, msn or windows live email to use windows messenger.
