Hi!
I love the new windows live messenger, it kicks ass!
But i dont want all my 150 msn contacts in my phone adress book.
Is there any way to use this software without having all the contacts in your contact book?
I'd love to know this too. It's made ahuge mess of my contact list.
Hey i love the new Windows live interface, but the only problem is i dont want to sync my 200 messenger contacts to my phone book. Anyone find out a way to stop this?

Thanks, but when i sign into messenger it still asks if i want to sync, and the only option is yes. Any ideas?
mmm if you want to sign in to the msn messenger, use live messenger app shorcut instead the live shorcut on the start menu
hmmm just tried that, it still asks to sync contacts when i try to sign in. Im wondering if there is a way to disable it.
i'm after a way to do this too - seems that any which way you try to use it, it always tries to 'dump' your msn contact list into your address book
i tried other IM programs such as IM+ but none look as good as msn live just yet...

I feel the same way, ive been trying aswell but like you said it always tries to bring the contact list in. But i am sure there is a way around it.
anyone know of any *other* good IM apps we can try instead?
seems like this is a problem for alot of other users aswell, the interface is sweet but the only problem is this stupid contact sync. I really dont want to install another messaging client
well just for the record, i'm trialling 'Agile Messenger'....would prefer to have the integrated Windows Live Messenger though....
agile messenger i dont mind but like you said you cant beat the live interface. Plus isnt Aglie $20?

Thanks Menneisyys - going to check it now.
I'm really hoping I may find a pearl of wisdom in your reviews such as how to stop Windows Live syncing our contacts!

Unfortunately, currently, it's not possible. However, a new might be WLM coming very soon (I can't tell you more because of the strict rules concerning my MS MVP status.)
how about starting to develop our own IM client for WM6.
anybody interest?

i wouldent mind, but i think ill just wait for the winodws live fix
Do this
with your "regular" phone book on the phone, use PIM Backup to make a backup
run messenger live (it will sync contacts, don't worry about it)
go on msn messenger, options, turn off all contact syncing
exit messenger
run PIM Backup and restore all, there will be an option to erase phonebook before restoring, do that
DONE
MSN won't sync your contacs, no MSN contacts in your phonebook =)

DO NOT DO THAT. I REPEAT. DO NOT TRY IT
I just did and after I restored all my contacts from PIM backup and I tried to
sign on msn again it deleted all of my MSN contacts.
Now the only contacts I have on my MSN list are those that were originally in my contact list.
Does anybody know how I can restore my MSN contacts?????
yikes! i cant believe this is such a big problem!
Why when I login to Messenger Live I am forced to save my MSN contacts to my phone contacts? Is there a way not to do this?
the new live messenger in tnt 5 and ahead give u a confirmation check box if u wanna save your contacts in the phone book or not, so use that one
What is tnt 5?
Oh! It's another WM6 Rom.
My Bad.
Hi
I'm using Messenger on my Rhodium with Windows Mobile 6.1 and was wondering if its possible to rename my contacts names ?
I can probably use other IM clients which can do the job for me but is it possible to do in Messenger ?
Cheers,

Hi
does anyone know of an app or a way to intergrate MSN messeger contacts into google contacts.
I want to be able to do the same thing as Skype where clicking contact via skype launchs an application that allows MSN chat.
Thanks in Advance.
