Changing MSN Messenger Display Name for NON msn/hotmail email addr

I've registered a non MSN email address for a .NET passport, but cannot
change the display name in any client (msn messenger, kopete, amsn) . It is a
Gmail address, haven't seen or heard of this problem before. I'm a Linux user
primary (Mandrake 10.1) but have tried changing the display name on a windows
xp sp2 workstation with msn messenger 7.0. The option is greyed out, only
nickname can be changed. The name thats stuck is "emailaddr***@domain.com
(Email address not verified)" In amsn, you can change the name, but it will
not save or update the main program. Any suggestions or plans on a fix?

I think once you have verified your email address, the option to change your
display name will become enabled.
