SUMMARY
Beginning with Windows Messenger version 4.6, many features are available only as add-ins instead of being included in Windows Messenger by default. For example, Hotmail access is integrated directly into Windows Messenger 4.5. However, to access your Hotmail Inbox from Windows Messenger 4.6, you must first install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger. The MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger includes the following features:
 * E-mail integration
 * MSN Chat integration
 * MSN Profiles integration
 * MSN Mobile (paging) integration
 * MSN Headlines



MORE INFORMATION
You can install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger by using either of the following methods:
 * If the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger is not already installed on your computer, you are prompted to download it from the Add-in Web site when you attempt to use a feature that is provided by an MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger. Follow the instructions on the Add-in Web site to install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger.
 * In Windows Messenger 4.6, click Add-In Web Site on the Tools menu. To download the add-in and to get more information, click click here to learn more, and then follow the instructions on how to install the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger.
