DOES ANYONE USE THE EMAIL NOTIFY FEATURE ON MSN MESSENGER
 

It has recently stopped working for me...anyone else had any problems ?

Sorry, never used :(

no works fine for me.

Check the option of the program. make sure "display alerts when email is recieved" box is checked.

it works fine for me :)

Yes I have checked that and its fine...and it doesnt work on any of the computers I use messenger on...I even tried upgrading to 6.1...everything was fine until last Sunday....damn computers :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

This is a long shot but it could be msn 6.1, i downloaded it a couple of weeks ago and nothing would work at all, it would open for about 30 seconds the shutdown, so i switched back to 6.0 and everything was fine again.

try to change them to no notification, close & re-start Messenger and then change them back to notification and then close & re-start Messenger.

if that doesn't work and your sure there are no viruses you should,
delete your .NET passport from windows and then restart and then re-create it. You will find that in the control panel under USERS.

also it works fine for me but i also have the 6.0version..instead a friend of mine who had the 6.1had many problems and switched in 6.0and everything is back to normal..maybe it is that

mine doesent work, when my status is set to away.

Mine works, i only have one problem.

When I check out the e-mail he keeps saying that i have new e-mails when i don't have.

its very strange as it wont work on three different computers that were all working fine on Sunday...some have 6.0 others 6.1...at the moment I can only see that it is an ISP issue...(maybe they blocked one of the ports or something)

Looks like I am not the only one suffering from this problem according to the Microsoft Forums....I still want to know why it is effecting some poeple and not others though.


OK, so I think the problem has to do with the MSN Alerts
system, because if you click on the Alerts tab, you'll
get a message saying that "...The MSN Alerts service is
experiencing difficulties. Try back later." Still no clue
how to fix it, and Microsoft's online support basically
blows monkey chunks.
