your email accounts are on their servers

Internet email accounts are not affected by which mode of internet access you choose.

“When I cancel my dial-up service, what happens to my email account (msn.com address)? Will I still be able to access my old email account via Hotmail? “

Yes.
I did the same thing about 6 years ago, when I cancelled my then dial up msn service, and switched to DSL. I still use my msn.com email via Hotmail

Since Hotmail is otherwise free, I’d imagine it should remain accessible. You may lose any perks you had over the free version of the service, such as expanded mailbox size. I’ve only used the free hotmail, so I can’t elaborate further.

Yes, your hotmail account will still be the same. It is not dependent on your mode of accessing the internet.

Wait...

Was your address @msn.com... not hotmail.com?

If so, then yes you may lose your messages. Forward all of them you want to save to another box before your service terminates.

It depends...is msn your dsl service? If not then you’ve got to ask her dsl service how to make sure your msn’s emails continue. There is a way...but I don’t know how. Make sure you’ve got your email service set up then cancel msn dial up...and if payment is electronic...I’d stop payment on it.

I cancelled my MSN dialup a while back and was allowed to keep my @msn.com email address.

I think MSN does it a little differently than Comcast or any other ISP. Any other one would revoke your email accounts, but MSN specifically said that I could keep it.

Sign up for Windows Live ID and use your existing MSN or hotmail email account.
