Msn alerts to email alerts

A blast from the past!

MSN Alerts was a popular service that allowed users to receive notifications and updates via email or SMS (text message) for various events, such as news, sports, weather, and more. However, with the rise of modern email services and mobile apps, MSN Alerts is no longer supported by Microsoft.

If you're looking to migrate your MSN Alerts to email alerts, here are a few options:

  1. Microsoft Outlook: You can set up custom alerts in Microsoft Outlook, which can notify you via email for various events, such as new emails, calendar events, or tasks. To set up alerts, follow these steps:
    • Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
    • Click on "Options" and then "Advanced".
    • Under "Alerts", click on "Alerts" and then "New Alert".
    • Choose the type of alert you want to set up (e.g., new email, calendar event, etc.).
    • Customize the alert settings as desired.
  2. Google Alerts: Google Alerts is a free service that allows you to set up custom alerts for various topics, such as news, sports, or entertainment. You can receive these alerts via email. To set up Google Alerts, follow these steps:
    • Go to the Google Alerts website (www.google.com/alerts).
    • Enter the topic or keyword you want to track.
    • Choose the type of alert you want to receive (e.g., news, blogs, etc.).
    • Customize the alert settings as desired.
  3. Third-party email alert services: There are several third-party services that offer email alert features, such as IFTTT (If This Then That), Zapier, or Sanebox. These services allow you to set up custom alerts for various events, such as new emails, social media updates, or website changes.

To migrate your MSN Alerts to one of these services, you'll need to:

  1. Review your MSN Alerts settings to determine what types of alerts you want to receive.
  2. Choose a new service that offers similar alert features.
  3. Set up the new service according to the instructions provided.
