Can't get non-microsoft account to work

Hello,

I created a passport from my regular work e-mail account.
I can go to the msn home page, sign in to my passport. But I can't get an
e-mail invite to my account. I sent 3 and none of them
went through. Does messenger only work with hotmail or microsoft e-mail
addresses?

Greetings,

No, there's no requirement based on your Passport. They're probably just being blocked by a
spam filter or something.

If you want, just send the invitation to another e-mail address -- you can send the
invitation anywhere, it's what Passport you're signed into when you click the 'Accept' link
that matters.
