are you asking if you can have the contacts from MSN on ur AIM and vice versa? MSN uses email address as a contact and AIM uses just a registered nickname.

For ppl with MSN: now we can register ourselves with other email account different than hotmail or msn.... and of course, we can add registered users with their different than hotmail/msn email address.
My aunt has an aol account and she has both: the MSN and AIM with the same email address.

yeah you can only add any type of Email address to MSN but you cant add email address' to AIM like you cant add your buddylist names to MSN unless you have that persons email address.

No you cant add AIM to MSN.....or MSN to AIM. If your trying to add a contact to MSN go to Contacts than Add a Contact.

If your trying to add someone to AIM go to your buddy list, click on that add buddy icon and type in the name

Heh, if you want to run MSN, Yahoo, AIM and ICQ in the same winder, I suggest Trillian. It can do it all. But, it still doesn't combine all your contacts. It will put them all in one winder, and allow you to use that as your IM program.
