I actually know exactly how they do it. I'm not sure if anyone remembers but my account got hacked a year ago in April, which resulted in an email change on my case, which was successful. I actually befriended the very player who hacked me (after he repaid all my pomegranate plus interest when I threatened an FBI report, had his IP/Zip/Address). Eventually I got out of him how to actually accomplish this, it's a long process and an annoying one but this is how they specifically do it for msn;
They Ip tag you, this would be from getting a message from msn, even a friend invite that you don't accept, from you opening an email from them, too going to a tinyurl link. If they find an email sent by you, they can look in the properties, get your full name, google your information for a facebook, or even find you on facebook. It's basic social engineering and exploitng password changes on the email addresses.
Though yahoo should be the safest, ISP's are unbreakable lol.
