NEED MORE STORAGE SPACE ?

Try the Following

Recent sign-ins to MSN have considerably reduced the amount of storage space you get which means you are limited to how many photos or gifs you can post in MSN groups but there is a way to get extra storage.

The easiest method is to sign-up for a FREE e-mail address. There are loads of places you can do this, a few are listed below. Please note you can sign up but don't have to use these e-mail addresses, but it is worth keeping a note of your address and the password just in case you need another e-mail.

Click Here for a list of free e-mail sites listed by country

The Free Spot eMail    <>  Lycos 

 OperaMail you will need to download the free Opera OS to use this one

 Wannadoo   <>   WowMail   <>   Yahoo sign in every 60 days to keep it active

When you sign up unclick all the boxes that offer to send you free details about Travel, shopping, computers, programming etc.

Sign in to the e-mail you have joined and then go and surf for an MSN group. e.g. the Virtual Garden or use the link in your favs/bookmark. Your comp may use a cookie to sign you in with an e-mail you already use in this site in which case you need to sign out. Then when you click to sign in again you should get a box with a list of your e-mail sign-ins and you need to pick the new one. You will then be asked to apply to join. Follow instructions


  1.  Make sure you have an easy way of opening the VG home page either in your favourites or from a desktop icon
  2. Sign in to your new email address.
  3. Open the VG home page
  4. Click on "Apply to Join" in the top right hand corner

  6. Wait for one of the managers to approve your application
