Windows Live email addresses start to become available [Updated]

Note (1st December 2006): Since this was originally posted, @live.com email addresses are no longer available. Currently only @live.nl addresses are now available. Please read the following posts for more information.

13/11/2006 @live.com hack fixed 
15/11/2006 Live Mail to delete new @live addresses?
16/11/2006 @live addresses are safe

Of course when @live.com addresses are officially released we will let you know!

---Original Post---

It seems as though @live email addresses are going to become a lot more common, as registrations for the @live.nl domain open. We don't expect @live.com to become available anytime soon, most likely not until Windows Live Mail gets branded "v1" by marketing, but hopefully a few other countries will be lucky enough to join their Dutch counterparts before this.

If you find anymore links, let us know!

@live.nl signup link

(Note: Some people, notably Microsoft employees and those who were quick enough to take advantage of a signup workaround, already have @live.com email addresses. So don't expect to grab the alias jamesbond!)

Update: Mess.be posted a workaround to get your @live.com account.

1. Goto this page to start registering your windows live account

2. Click the signup button

3.Copy the following java-script (delete the hyphen at character 5 in the copied text)

java-script:function r(q){} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById("idomain").options);r(d="live.");r(f="windowslive."); r(g="hotmail.");r(a = new Array("msn.com",g+"com",g+"com.au",g+"com.br",g+"co.uk",g+"ca",g+"fr",g+"se",g+"de",d+"com",d+"com.ar",d+"com.au",d+"com.mx",d+"com.my", d+"com.pe",d+"com.pk",d+"com.pt",d+"com.sg",d+"com.ve",d+"at",d+"be",d+"ca",d+"cl",d+"cn",d+"co.in",d+"co.kr",d+"co.uk", d+"de",d+"dk",d+"fr",d+"ie",d+"it",d+"jp",d+"nl",d+"no",d+"ph",d+"ru",d+"se",f+"com")); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++){ s(i ) }alert("Success - additional domains added!");

4. Paste the code in your address bar and press enter!

Yet another update: I found that by tweaking the javascript you can even register more different top level domains. For example, I changed d+"com" to d+"com.pe" to register a Peru @live.com alias. Who knows exactly how many more different top level domains there are, but it seems there are a ton more since Microsoft introduced it in November 2004. I tried @live.gov for fun and obviously Hotmail didn't like that. If it doesn't work however, you can easily close the account. If you find some that work, please let us know in the comments. Thanks! @Matthew

Third update: Thanks to all those who desperately want a new cool e-mail address have found even more domains. I updated the javascript to reflect the changes, big thank you to ben_b.

Sounds cool.

Strange is that I already have a @live.com e-mail since at the beginning of the year.

I registered it when I started using the Windows Live Mail beta (web based one replacing hotmail).

Ok, you can also sing up for live.br which is for Brazil.

And another thing, that link http://get.live.com/getlive/overview didnt work out on my Winxp BR-PT , it redirects me to ideas.live.com, even tried to change my local setting to English, using a proxy ... and nothing!!

what I've found out is that on WinXP EN ( even with an ip from brazil ) I could get the right url, and sign up for nem emails accounts ..

After, tried that url on my XP PT-BR:

https://signup.live.com/hmnewuser.aspx?ru=http://get.live.com/getlive/congratulations&rx=http://get.live.com/getlive/overview&hm=1&ns=1&mkt=en-ca&revipc=de&ts=3607529&sh=5tkg&rollrs=03&lic=1

and YES, i was not rederected anymore .. ;)

Question:

Will we eventually by able to convert our MyCurrent@hotmail.com Live ID to MyCurrent@live.com and keep all of our account settings?  As much fun as it is to pick a new Live ID, it would make more sense for me if I could just automatically convert my current address later.

Has anyone heard?

If the Microsoft really to place the email Live in paises as he is in post of the colleague ai on @live.ru, @live.ch and will have @live.br, to @live.ar and other Vai to be very good for all the user of the Live, despite that @live.com is waited. What it lacks Microsoft to make it is to create a rival the height for the Orkut. Being thus the Windows Live Spaces it would have to be improved to make front to the Orkut. Thus in the same way that who has Orkut and Google talk if communicate the staff who to use the Windows Live Space in set with the Windows Live Messenger went to have a good integration. But I find that the Microsoft does not have interest in making a product to beat the Orkut, does not have interessse or then it does not have capacity. What it leaves me sad, therefore I am not fan of the Orkut.

Use this code for more top level domains for both hotmail, and live., and Windowslive.com:

BLOCKED SCRIPTfunction r(q){} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById("idomain").options);r(d="live.");r(f="windowslive."); r(g="hotmail.");r(a = new Array("msn.com",g+"com",g+"com.au",g+"com.br",g+"co.uk",g+"ca",g+"fr",g+"se",g+"de",d+"com",d+"com.ar",d+"com.au",d+"com.mx",d+"com.my",d+"com.pe",d+"com.pk",d+"com.pt",d+"com.sg",d+"com.ve",d+"at",d+"be",d+"ca",d+"cl",d+"cn",d+"co.in",d+"co.kr",d+"co.uk",d+"de",d+"dk",d+"fr",d+"ie",d+"it",d+"jp",d+"nl",d+"no",d+"ph",d+"ru",d+"se",f+"com")); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++){ s(i ) }alert("Success - additional domains added!");

you can create any address, even make up your own domain name, and you can use it with windows live messenger, but you cant use it with windows live mail/hotmail. i got the address (name)@heaven.com!

Guys, the "any domain" trick isn't a new thing. You've always been able to do this. You can't use emails and it says "email address not verified" on Messenger, so it's no good really.

Chris4, you are wrong in this... Because I got with this trick my @live.com address and this is the e-mail that I'm using right now....

I was trying to create a @live.com.do address and happen what you are saying, but this because microsoft doesn't support @live.com.do domains... But you can have your @live.com, .it, .nl, and .net I think so, and you will have your True Email @live.com...
