'email address not verified'

Jonathan,
windows messenger works but my email address display also says 'email
address not verified'.

In order to verify my email address, I followed your instructions but I get
the following:
"Verify your e-mail address if you used your own e-mail address to create
your Windows Live ID (The e-mail address and password that you use to sign in
to Windows Live programs and services such as Windows Live Hotmail and
Windows Live Messenger; Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, MSN, and Office
Live; and anywhere else that you see the Windows Live ID logo.) you might be
asked to verify your e-mail address.

1. Click Verify your e-mail address. ==Do not have this option/button to
click !
2. Make sure the e-mail address shown is correct, and then select Send me
verification e-mail.
3. When you receive the verification e-mail, follow the enclosed
instructions."
Verify your e-mail address
If you used your own e-mail address to create your Windows Live ID (The
e-mail address and password that you use to sign in to Windows Live programs
and services such as Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger;
Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, MSN, and Office Live; and anywhere else
that you see the Windows Live ID logo.) you might be asked to verify your
e-mail address.

Click Verify your e-mail address.
Make sure the e-mail address shown is correct, and then select Send me
verification e-mail.
When you receive the verification e-mail, follow the enclosed instructions.

Greetings,

There's been two new versions of the Windows Live ID site since this post in 2006, I'm
actually surprised the link works at all.

Head over to:
https://account.live.com/verifysi.aspx?mkt=en-us&rp=summarypage

Click the 'Send e-mail' button and it will send you a verification e-mail with the
verification link you click to get verified.
