Using someone else's computer? Logging on from a Web café or the library? MSN Web Messenger is an easier and more convenient way to enjoy many of the features in MSN Messenger without having to download and install the MSN Messenger software.
Like MSN Messenger, in MSN Web Messenger, you can:
- Exchange instant messages in real time with one or more friends.
- Grab attention and add fun to your messages with emoticons.
- Send and receive e-mail messages.
- Add contacts to your contact list.
The following Web browsers support MSN Web Messenger:
- Internet Explorer 5.0
- MSN Explorer 8.0
- Netscape 7.0 or later
- AOL 8.0 or later
- Safari
- Mozilla
Try using MSN Web Messenger at http://webmessenger.msn.com
Here's an overview of the features in MSN Web Messenger:
group conversations, customization of your text font, size and color, emoticons (no custom emoticons!), send and receive e-mail messages, add contacts to your contact list, toasts and sound alerts (for every new message received and when someone signs in). NOT included are audio/video conversations, "fun & games" applications, file exchange, display pictures, window backgrounds and custom emoticons.
Like the contact list in MSN Messenger, your MSN Web Messenger contact list displays your current and pending contacts and information about their status.
Unlike MSN Messenger however, your contacts are shown in fixed categories that cannot be renamed or deleted. You will see some or all of the following groups in your contact list: New e-mail messages, People who want to add you (click a name to accept or reject the invitation), Current conversations (click a name to open the current conversation window), Online (click a name to open a conversation window), Not online (click a name to send an e-mail message to this person)
