I could screen capture all the people display pictures in my PC, crop them and paste them into Outlook one by one.
But I've got about 30-50 contacts so there must be some smarter way to do it?
I just tried the new Live Messenger in WM6 which adds contacts into the phonebook, a total mess with duplicates that I already have.
Any guides that I can manage Outlook (Office 2003), WM6 Contacts and Live Messenger better?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've had a quick search and I can't find anything related to this problem of mine so here goes:
What's the deal with Windows Live and Outlook synchronisation? This seems to be a useless implementation and it's completely ruined the phone for me.
One of the reasons I have a Windows Mobile phone is so that I can manage all my contacts in Outlook 2007 at home and sync them with Outlook 2003 at work.
I keep my msn contacts seperate from these contacts, as I don't have MSN at work and I have lots of contacts on msn whose phone numbers I don't have.
Suddenly with this new version of Windows Live I have a choice of either not using messenger and keeping my contacts clean, or signing in and having it copy all my msn contacts into pocket Outlook so they appear when I load contacts on my phone.
It seems to be duplicating all my contact information (I had some contacts in MSN as I use hotmail at home) and there's no way to merge them. If I delete the contact with the msn logo, it disappears from messenger with no way to get it back (on the phone). If I delete the other one, it removes it from outlook.
Does anyone know of a way to merge the live contacts with outlook properly (i.e. not just by ticking that box in the options)?
The only way to get my contacts back to normal after Windows Live messes them up is to switch user in Windows Live and restore my contacts from my SPB Backup.
This is really frustrating me and I am shocked that Microsoft are still releasing such poor products to market

If you delete the msn contact and than get on the outlook contact, press menu press, "To Windows Live" and than take option "both", and use the email thats of you're contact msn account. now it will be merged.
Hope this helps
I'm looking for a program that will add all SMS and call history from my phone to each individual contact in my contacts as well as in Outlook when I sync.
I had a similar program that did that on my Palm Treo and would like the same for my PPC. I don't remember the program so I can't do any research to see if it's made for Windows Mobile.
Any thoughts on other programs? All help is appreciated!
TIA
I don't understand. you mean... having your SMS messages saved with the contact information?

When I receive an SMS from a contact, I'd like a program that saved the SMS history to that particular contact within outlook when I sync. There is a note portion of any contact within outlook - the other program I had saved the call history and SMS history to the notes.
it would require both an addon for sync which would sync sms's to outlook in the first place
and second a addon which would add sms's listed under contacts in outlook
if it exist i doubt you would get it for free
if it dont exist then it's because of lack of market / demand
less and less people really depend that much on outlook
when contacts are in gmail or facebook or thunderbird or...
Hi!
Any idea to sync Windows Live Avatars to my contacts picture (because I have a lot of contacts without contact picture)?
Thank you!
I have a few contacts in my phone that have had a photo associated with them, well before I got my TP2 with SenseUI.
Now with SenseUI it pulls the current FB photo for those contacts associated with FB accounts.
I love this feature.
What is strange is, my wife for example.
Her photo all throughout the phone (contacts pages, etc) is her current FB photo. That changes once I am in a call with her. Then the call screen shows her old Outlook photo from a while ago.
How do I update this?
I have a sensation and an BMW series 5 f10. It Works just great with the sensation. Office functions only include contacts and SMS. Nothing more...
It even gets contact pictures for the contacts that include a picture. The picture needs to be in the contact (e.g. Outlook contact) and cannot be a picture from a Facebook linked contact.
The only strange thing is that I get the contact pictures for the majority of my contacts except for 5 or 6 (out of 200 contacts with pictures) that I used the most. Any idea why?
What makes that it transfers the contacts pictures for all other contacts except this few ones?
Any idea on how can I debug what is going on?
