i would have, infact i have a g-mail... but the problem is that most of the people i know have my msn, so even if i made a new msn, it would be the same thing as switching to g-mail... and i do not want to give my email to hundreds of people ALL OVER AGAIN.. well I guess i'm stuck....

You know you can forward emails from a hotmail email account to gmail and use gmail's junk filters right?

You can make a chain email to everyone on your email list of contacts and tell them to add your new email. The more important contacts you may even want to phone ahead and let them know that you've changed it. Then just make the swap. This will also help clean out your contacts because some people probably wouldn't ever email you to begin with, so it limits the number of people that can A.) give your email out and B.) gives you less bs to read through!
