Logged In, but can't get e-mail

Hi,
I'm logged in to Windows Live Messenger (4.7). I used to be able to right
click and get to my e-mail on the web. Now it brings me to my Outlook box,
which is my work e-mail. I don't want that nor do I want to download my
Messenger mailbox into Outlook. How do I get it to open up in a new web
window?
Thanks,
Angela

Greetings Angela,

This feature was removed around the 2003 timeframe. There are actually two versions of
Windows Messenger surviving that still allow this functionality and are still allowed to
login, however you cannot download them directly from Microsoft any more.

I highly suggest that you install and use Windows Live Messenger instead
(http://get.live.com/messenger/config) which will give you this support back. Also, I think
you'll find as your contacts upgrade in the near future, support for the old Windows
Messenger file transfers (and other features) within the newer versions will be removed, so
you will be forced to switch at some point anyway.
