It has been a few months since the last trick to get a Windows Live email account address and now there is another trick available, this time thanks to wBeta! There are just a few steps to get your email address and this is much easier than the last time. Here they are:
- Right-click on this link and copy it to the clipboard. It won’t do you any good to just click on the link, you need to actually copy it to use later.
- Go to http://get.live.com/getlive/overview in Internet Explorer and click “Sign Up.” I tried doing it in Firefox but couldn’t get it to work.
- Paste what you just copied in step 1 into the address bar and press enter to execute it. The script adds a “Live.com” option to the drop-down menu of domain choices.
- Fill out the rest of the details and you’re all set!
Hopefully Microsoft will release these email addresses to the public soon but they will probably wait until Windows Live Mail is officially released. So you better hurry and get the address(es) that you want before all of the good ones have been taken and they shutdown this trick!

guess they fixed it, *so fast*
Here it works!
I had to use IE instead Firefox.
It works in Firefox as well. Thanks a lot for the tip, Ryan!
I’ve been your regular feed reader for just a month or so, and it’s unbelievable how useful your tips are!
Even though I mostly use Gmail. I still have to use my hotmail for some things. It will be nice to now have a nicer looking microsoft email address. Thanks
Thanks for the tip. Worked for me in Opera on a Mac
Thanks Ryan. It worked for me just fine.
Now, what will this be used for? Email? Any use for it currently?
Woohoo! Worked for me…thought they fixed it when the secret code image didnt load, just took a while on my PC…
Thanks for this, keep the gr8 tips coming!
Oh my!!!!! I just “hacked” this “hack” !
the link that you copied i.e
“javascript: var p = ‘live.’; var ds = new Array(’com’, ‘cn’, ‘fr’, ‘it’, ‘nl’); for (var i = 0; i myownmail.’; var ds = new Array(’com’, ‘cn’, ‘fr’, ‘it’, ‘nl’); for (var i = 0; i
Damn, stayin@live.com is taken. I thought I was the only one with such comedy genius.
Didnt fit above..anyways just change the ” var p = ‘live.’ ” to your own domain e.g. ” var p = ‘typedomainhere.’
Worked for me! dunno if i can check my email sent to this, but i know u can sign in on Windows Live Messenger with it!
Njoy
Didn’t work for me - they might’ve plugged it.
Well, live.com will be a bit like passport, you can have any email address registered to it to get services. But for the email I HIGHLY doubt you’ll get it.
It works and I was able to sign in to the email. Did you know that hovering over the Live logo presents a list of links? I hadn’t see it yet.

If you actually want that, Live.com already offers to host your email so you can easily get that done
Worked for me now!!
Thanks for the tip ryan. I got my ajaydsouza … unfortunately ajay was taken
Worked for me using Firefox. THANKS RYAN!!!
I use it for my junk email now.
Glad it is working for almost everyone, and for those people it isn’t working for just try a different browser.
Ah finally I can get an email that had my name in it!
I should have done it with gmail when I had the invite,
but I didn’t think it would turn out to be so big.
Still works. Just got 2 new @live.com email addys. Now I can stop using the pathetic hotmail addresses.
It worked for me. I setup two email accounts. Thanks Ryan!
worked for me using Mozilla 1.7.3 on HPUX.
thanks.
What about live.be? Is that available?
Edit: if I choose @live.be, I get the old Hotmail interface. However, if I choose @live.com, it gives me access to the new interface. Thanks for the tip Ryan!
Still works. Thanks for the tip Ryan and wBeta!
Worked in Flock.
Thanks for this trick, but how can i read my emails? i created this account: EDRM@RkO.it but if i try to go and read my emails through hotmail it says that mine isn’t a valid account and i have to create a new one. i want to use this account only for windows live messenger and i have to get the confirmation email (i don’t know how it’s called in english).
Sorry for my english (i’m italian)….
This trick is only to create a @live.com email address. I don’t know how you got @RkO.it?
you can make any email with this, except microsoft stopped the @live.com one, i made a one with @live.uk by changing some fields in the javascript
please can u tell us how u were able to make a .uk one, and to avoid the error?
