You cannot sign in to msn messenger or live messenger with 2 accounts but I think its possible to sign in with one and use the windows messnger to sign into with the other. There is also the option to use Trillian alongside messenger, you can run trillian which supports hotmail addresses and messenger for the other.

not with the official MSN client you cant - but I think something like Trillian will let you do this.

I have always been a bit wary of 3rd party apps like this, always had a niggling thought at the back of my head that its just harvesting my login details. But I have used Trillian before (for IRC) and has always worked for me.

thx for reply but what i want is to open both messenger accounts at same time so i can chat to both people on both accounts. is trillian free?

 

[karym6]

there is a free version. I know it allows you to set up multiple im's at once. I am pretty certain you can do this for two MSN accounts.

Yes m8 I know you want 2 at the same time, thats why I said you can run Trillian alongside messenger, use Trillian for one of your msn accounts and messenger for the other. Anf karym6 is spot on, you can have multiple accounts with Trillian so you could use it to sign in with both accounts and its free.
