How do I view MSN like I could in Windows o/s

I think that you didn't advance to the new MSN when it was out and now
are having problems, simply go to MSN site and find where it says "Get
the new MSN". That should solve the problem. And if you are just
looking for a email account that is simple and plain, I would suggest
that you make a gmail account, it plan and simple :)

You could try out emesene, you might find emesene more familiar.
Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for Emesene and install it.
After you have installed it you will find it in the main menu under Internet.

When trying to download the latest messenger I get the following error message

Archive: /home/jody/Downloads/wlsetup-custom (1).exe
[/home/jody/Downloads/wlsetup-custom (1).exe]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/jody/Downloads/wlsetup-custom (1).exe or
          /home/jody/Downloads/wlsetup-custom (1).exe.zip, and cannot find /home/jody/Downloads/wlsetup-custom (1).exe.ZIP, period.

Yep downloading Emesene has made MSN somewhat more familiar
Thanks
