Hi all:
Let me begin by saying I have searched endlessly, but am not having much luck. I even posted a reply in a very old thread I found here on xda, but never got any replies.
Here is my question, I use Windows Live messenger. On my Windows Live contacts list, I have several Yahoo contacts. I am able to send and receive messages from them through Windows live. I know this is also possible on Yahoo messenger, since some of my friends have my Windows Live ID on their Yahoo contact lists.
For some reason on all of the mobile messengers I do not see my Yahoo contacts.
Do any of the programs support this? Am I just doing something wrong?
So far I have tried IM+, Palringo, Agile, Beejive and Octro.
None seem to do what I wanted.
I don't mind paying for an app that will do this.
Thanks!

I am looking for an solution to use windows live messenger on the great XDA Mobile 6 (XM6)-rom without adding my contacts to the phone address book.
Doesn't anyone know a solution?
maybe a registery hack or something...
NB I have seen many topics... but still no solution...
please, anyone?
Thats pretty easy .. when you sign into windows live tell it NOT TO SYNCH MESSENGER AND CONTACTS.

Well, when I start Messenger, and press "Sign in", I get the message "Signing in to Messenger will add your Windows Live contacts to you phone's address book. Do you wish to continue?"
There are only 2 options, OK or cancel. When you press cancel you can't login.
So there must be another solution.
you must sync your contacts to use windows messenger. In the newer version of windows live, there is an option to not merge duplicates with outlook, but you still must sync them.
This is according to the help file included with messenger.
still no solutions yet?
not that I am away of. this is the most stupid feature ever. I went and deleted them in my contacts but had no idea it would also delete them off my messenger list as well! I was so pissed, i lost everybody...a lot that I don't talk to very often but like to have them on there. no way I can remember their address...

KKK i do the same ****! now i have only half of my contacts.
the unic solution is dont use the live messenger...use some other app like IM+
after installing xda 6, when i signed in to live i only selected the option for email, my msn list never got synced with the contacts list... this was a horrible feature for live and i thought great now they fixed it... i think they are still trying to "iron" out live.... oh i forgot it is a microsoft product...
Hey have been enjoying my Vox just got it a few weeks ago, When i signed up for windows live messenger it sync's all my contacts as usual, but its quite a pain because i have over 200 contacts and quite a few people i dont really talk to. Is there a version of messenger that dose not sync your contacts to the phonebook? thanks guys!
Agile Messenger works very well and includes yahoo, AOL, icq, XMPP and google as well in the same client.
It isn't free though

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!
Hey all,
I have a HTC Touch phone through Bell and have my hotmail account setup on it to receive emails from my account. The problem I am having is that it will only allow me to see the latest 50 emails.
Does anyone know how to change this value? Is there a registry hack/setting/etc that can be changed?
I saw one "solution", which was setting up your account through outlook instead, but then there isn't push, and that's why I use it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
There is no solution to this as far as i am aware. I am using a different client to push hotmail to my trinity and had the same issue. All i could see was the top 50 messages in my inbox, as newer ones were deleted then older ones would synch across. Checking with them it was confirmed that the 50 message limit was imposed by Microsoft.

i am Sooooooo frustrated.
i thought i finally found the answer to my problems in windows live.
My wm6.1 phone is SOOOOOO unreliable when i need it to download/send emails.
I set up a hotmail account and configured windows live on my phone only to find out that i can only SEE MY LATEST 50 EMAILS!!!
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?!?!?!?!?
They create a solution to smtp/imap/pop3 problems in windows live and then they make it unusable for ANYONE!
What other solutions are available?
I will never purchase another windows mobile phone again. Apparently this has been a problem for a long time and they have yet to address it...
ugh

This isn't a windows mobile problem but a MS Live problem.
Hello,
I have trouble connecting to Yahoo! mail and messenger on my LG Optimus Black. I have tried setting up the mail account from the Email application already installed on the phone and also through the mail and messenger apps downloaded from the Android market, but I was unssuccessful. Either I get a message that my account info could not be checked, or that my username and password are invalid....
Could anyone guide me trough the steps i need to take to solve this issue? Also which is best POP3 or IMAP4?
I`m clueless in what concerns this stuff and also a noobie to the Android platform...this is my first Android phone....
Many thanks for your help.

Yahoo only allows pop3 unless you pay for the premium service.

Hi zelendel,
Thanks for your reply. I`ve just tried connecting in the exact same way with another address and it worked perfectly.... both the app already on my phone and also on the apps for mail and messenger fron the market, so i think there is a problem ....
Vctory!! I`ve done it.... I connected my address to the apps .
Many thanks for your answer!
Glad you got it to work. Mind posting how for others that have this problem?
Actually I have no ideea.... I just entered the ID and password again and it connected on the Y! mail and messenger apps I downloaded from the market. For the phone one it doesn`t work, but I didn`t try it much with my official yahoo address. I could connect with an alternative mail address, but the mails are not synced (the emails that were already in my mailbox are not shown and neither the ones I received after setting up the account). I could only set ut IMAP... could this be the cause for that?
