Hi there,

For several years I have had the same free hotmail account...

I am thinking of changing my email addy but needed a free hotmail account that works with msn messenger because I dont use facebook or any of those sites etc...

I was considering gmail but dont know if I can use my gmail account to sign in on msn messenger??

Also, I am looking for an email account where I can send and recieve files that are larger then 10mb unlike hotmail I believe?

Alternatively if there is an application I think like ICQ that enables me to use this potential new email address and have access to the majority of IM app's then I would not mind doing that..

Please assist , your advice would be appreciated

Thanks in advance..
 
If you sign up to gmail with a UK IP you get given an @googlemail.com address (but an email sent to the @gmail.com version will also get to you). If you want to get an @gmail.com address though you'll have to use a proxy (only needed whilst you sign up).

that reminds me - a few mates emailed me using @gmail and they kept getting failed send errors ?

that was a while ago don't know if it still does it.

Odd. I just sent myself a test to my googlemail namesake and it worked fine.

OK
