How to register your e-mail address that is not a Hotmail or Windows Live e-mail address with Windows Live ID or Microsoft Passport ID. Doing this enables you to chat with friends on Live Messenger using your non Hotmail or Windows Live e-mail address.
This guide shows you how to register your e-mail address that is not a Hotmail or Windows Live e-mail address with Windows Live ID or Microsoft Passport ID. Doing this enables you to chat with friends on Live Messenger using your non Hotmail or Windows Live e-mail address.
Create Credentials
The first thing you need to do is sign your non Hotmail or Windows Live e-mail address up with Microsoft’s Passport Network so that e-mail address has the proper credentials.
Visit Microsoft’s Create Credentials website to start the process.
Follow the instructions on the Create Credentials page to sign up your non Hotmail or Windows Live e-mail address with Microsoft’s Passport Network.
Verify Your E-mail Address
It is very important that you verify your e-mail address after signing up with Microsoft’s Passport Network by clicking the link that is e-mailed to you shortly after you sign up.

I verified my passport by accessing the link I was sent; however I keep getting messages saying I have to verify my passport! I no longer have the email to try to verify anything again.
What do I do.
If the e-mail is not live anymore you might have to verify a new e-mail address.

Windows Live ID is experiencing some technical difficulties while creating your account.
I tried several times since last night and the problems remain..
anyone have solution?
Thanks :)
This problem is there since something like 3 months ago, when I tried for the first time, Im thinkin that is a business problem, some microsoft of msn agreement I dont know, but the truth is that there are no chances to create a messenger accounts with a no hotmail-msn emails anymore.
Guys, I just tried it to make sure it works and it does. Make sure you are following directions.
Hey Brent, it is not working at all. The only thing it shows up at the end is the same message: “We’re unable to complete your request. Windows Live ID is experiencing some technical difficulties while creating your account. To start using Windows Live today, get support now, click here ,choose Windows Live ID and copy paste the code below into the form. LEFKPK~OIONPNR[WRV[YVZ^”.
So perhaps you’re using another link, because I don’t have anything of this working. I had done this before, but it was like a year ago just for the records.
“You don’t have an inbox…yet
Sign up for Windows Live Hotmail and get a free, customizable inbox with lots of storage and great security.
Note: Whether you use Hotmail or not, you can always go to your contact list. ”
It says like tht and i didnt recieve any email and there isnt a inbox HELP!!!!!!!
btw thw thing was registered ok (according to the instructions) i can sign into Windows Live Messenger and all but no MAIL heeeeelllp!!!!
thnk u very very much for helping
Windows Live ID “Sign up for a limited account”, is a fake option, it seems Microsoft is cheating on us, since one month, I couldn’t create that account.
Microsoft wants all people to use Hotmail.
Unfair.

It doesn’t like other emails except hotmail. It tells you that you can, but what?
You will only have an inbox if it is a Live or Hotmail address. Think of any other email accounts simply as a user name that can be used for various things like chatting on Live Messenger.
Anybody solved the issue with LEFKPK? I am unable to create an account and keep getting a message about this error. :(
