Free Windows Live Mail! Beta

Are you itching to be on the cutting-edge of web-based email services? Want to make your nerdy cubicle-neighbor envious that you’re the first guy in the office with the not-yet-released Windows Live Mail! beta? This was recently posted on Neowin but then deleted for whatever reason(s)?!

Regardless of whether you have an invite or not, you can indeed get a Windows Live Mail! account for free. It’s a small exploit that was discovered by someone (post a comment if you discovered it, with proof), and it really works (I tested it myself – and YES it breaks degrades horribly in Firefox).

Alright, let’s start!

1. Open up Internet Explorer. MSN likes Internet Explorer, not Firefox.
2. Sign out of MSN completely. Go to the MSN Homepage and double check.

3. Right Click This Link and choose ‘Copy’ or ‘Copy Link Location’

4. Paste the link into your IE Address Bar and you will be redirected to Sign In.
5. Sign in. You should now see the standard Hotmail interface.
6. Repeat Step 4 (Paste the same URL into the Address Bar).
7. You will be presented with the Live Mail! Beta participation page. Voila!

And that’s all it takes to foil the great MSFT 😉

EDIT: Your location must be set to US and language has to be English.

Apparently this doesn’t work for some people, if thats you don’t worry – post your email and I’ll send you a live mail invite myself.

  1. Ah, I tried this, and it didn't work right. I got to the beta page, but when I click I accept or whatever, it just takes me to the normal hotmail 🙁

  2. Hello I have windows live messenger and would appreciate if you would send me a invite to windows live mail beta thanks!

  3. There is some solid information in this post. I enjoy your writing. I’ve added this blog to my boomarks and will be sure to spread the word to my friends. I did have an issue with how fast this post loaded. Might be an issue to optimize.
