Windows Live Messenger/non supporting email?

[sherrybaby]

So, I am logged into MSN, nothing wrong there. I went to click on the little mail envelope thing that said I had email. It took me to a Windows Live page that said this...

"The .NET Passport or Windows Live ID you are signed into is not supported. Please set up a free email account."

It worked fine for me this morning and for the past like, 10 years. Why is it saying this now? The link it goes to is of no help whatsoever (just a Windows Live page telling me to set up a new account. I don't want a new account, i like the one I have just fine!

If I was to set up a new account is that going to mess up with contacts I have on my MSN? A friend of mine got the same message on his account today as well.

I wasn't able to log into my mail for some time.
I just checked, and it let me in.
I guess they fixed whatever it was.

Well, I got a message in MSN from Windows Live saying they were changing their passport login and that I would need to change my login info and stuff. It seemed kind of shady to me so I didn't do it. I'm just so confused! lol!
