Hi all,
I just upgraded XPSP1 to SP2 and found that after launching msn messenger
4.6.2009, the mail option is missing. There is usually a link at the top of
msn showing how many new messages you have. For some reason it is gone!

Ive googled this with no luck!

Tia!
 
Greetings,

This functionality was removed in SP2 (btw, the Messenger in SP2 is 4.7.3000; there never was
a 4.6.2009 version).

You'll need to either
install the previous version of Windows Messenger (see below) or install MSN Messenger
(http://messenger.msn.com/Download):

To downgrade back to Windows Messenger 4.7.2009:

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for the great info!
It's odd that this functionality would be removed from messenger.
Any reason why?
I guess I'll just upgrade to the latest version...I just can't stand 2
different versions of MSN, though...)-8

Thanks again!
