Skype upgraded itself to latest version 6.0.73.126 in windows 8 and in the process removed messenger and advised to have im from Skype. fine. but messenger was also giving email alert of emails in outlook.com. now that messenger is uninstalled I am not able to get email alerts at all or access outlook,com directly by clickin on messenger. messenger also remembered my username and password and when I click on the inbox, I was landing in outlook.com. but now that messenger is not there, I have to open internet explorer, enter in webaddress Hotmail.com or outlook.com and when it opens the username page, I have to enter username and password, every time I want to check my email. can Microsoft help me/advise me with better technique. I don't use im so im from Skype is not of much use to me. messenger was very useful for (1) getting email alerts and (2) quickly access outlook.com without entering username and password. is it possible to reinstall messenger?
