Are you refering to:
"How do I manage the settings of my alerts?
You can manage settings of the alerts that you receive for a thread. On the My Alerts page, click the Change Microsoft Alerts Delivery Settings link. You are taken to the Live Alerts hosted site where you can manage the settings."
Or???
Anyway, In "my alerts", I have "Configure Alerts", I see alert for "MSDN Forums" and I can choose to Edit and then edit e-mail or messenger.
But choosing edit e-mail, the only thing you can't edit is the e-mail address it self, and I dont see any remove and apply options?
I am sure it is in the FAQ (if you say so) but please give me link!
Thanks!

You must be kidding. So if I registered 8 years ago on the MS Passport with my old e-mail which I don't use anymore, I cannot change even the e-mail address just for alerts (if not the sign-in e-mail)? How this could be by design? If it is, it's a very bad design! I don't understand how such a big software company can have a forum which does not allow its users to change e-mail address for alerts. You should add this funcionality very quickly because this situation is just ridiculous...
