-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- The Microsoft Network versions 6.0, 6.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you use a free msn.com e-mail address, you may discover (possibly through
replies to your e-mail messages) that you can receive e-mail from both msn.com
and hotmail.msn.com addresses ([email protected] and [email protected]).

CAUSE
=====

MSN uses certain conventions to differentiate between users with Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) e-mail accounts and those with Web-based email accounts. Users
with POP3 e-mail accounts will be routed to [email protected] and users with
Web-based accounts will be routed to [email protected].

RESOLUTION
==========

The "@hotmail.msn.com" e-mail suffix is a convention that MSN uses to
differentiate between POP3 and Web-based e-mail accounts, but it is not
necessary for you to use an address such as [email protected]. You can
still receive e-mail using only the "@msn.com" ([email protected]).
