Hello everyone, i have a issue with my windows live messenger, i have wm6 standard, basically every time i try to sign in on messenger, as message appears and says
"Signing in to Messenger will add your Windows Live Contacts to your phone's address book. Do you wish to continue?"
If i continue it ends up copying all my contacts in my address book and i don't want that to happen. Is there any way to bypass/get rid of this option and sign into messenger without having to copy all my contacts in my address book?? i have checked the settings, and did not see any options. I prefer and want to use messenger and not any other client. Please help, its annoying. thanks

You should have clicked No. in the prompt when WLM asked whether you wanted to copy the contacts or not. But now I believe its too late. Unless ofcourse you want to go for clear storage .

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...
Hi again,
I've upgraded the Treo 750v (Vodafone) into Windows Mobile 6.
I can use the Windows Live email without any problem at all, and so if I sign-in with the Messenger built-in.
But everytime after I sign-in into Messenger and tried to add a new contact, the Messenger just won't do anything even though I've entered the correct email address.
For example: I wrote "[email protected]" and cilck the 'Ok" button, nothing happen and the screen still at the add new contact window.
If I wrote 'somone_name" (without @hotmail.com), Messenger could say that was not the correct email address...
What gives? Is something wrong with my Messenger?
For further informations, I've already put the email address I wish to add into every contacts name in the Windows Mobile contacts phonebook...
Anyone can help me out?
Thanks in advance!
Ok so I've been doing a lot of searching but can’t seem to find the answer.
When I set up Windows Live I accidently said yes to having my contacts list in my phone's contact list.
I didn't want this so I was going through the list manually and deleting them one by one. Little did I know I was also deleting them from my MSN My fault, I know, I'm an idiot! I have had the phone for about a month now and had it set so the MSN contacts were not in the contacts list. I flashed a new ROM and that was why I had to set it up again s I didn't realize that deleting these would have any effect on anything else.
So now I'm trying to remove the MSN contacts from the phone contacts but I can't seem to work out how. In the Windows Live "Options" I can see under #2 Sync options, there is an option to "Store Windows Live contacts in your mobile phones contact list" but I'm not able to select it to change the settings.
Anyone able to assist? I'm sure it's something simple that I’ve missed but I can't seem to work it out
Thanks in advance..
Delete your hotmail account from the phone. Go back and set up hotmail again and this time do not check "add my hotmail contacts to my adress book" option. It will not say it exactly like that but you will know what i am talking about. I had to hard reset mine to get rid of 100s of email adresses in my phone contact book. Little did i know
if you find that windows live mobile wont let you remove email contacts from your phone contacts list because the check box is greyed out, and you cant seem to delete your email account from your phone, go to windows live > menu > account options > switch windows live ID > Yes
now just re-setup with the same hotmail account details and dont check-the contacts sync boxes this time. Worked for me. so happy now.

Thanks man, I ended up working it out. I just cleared the Windows Live account and started over again. Something I should have realized to do before posting
Thanks for a tip, it helps me a lot
No need to re-install it again
Hi guys
Well, i searched many times, in google, and here about this, but nowhere i found a resonsable solution for this, that is not exactly a problem.
I have an HOTMAIL account, and a PT-EU rom (official) (abit old) and i have the live mail ( i believe that already came with ) and i receive emails normally.
SO where is the problem?
The problem is: I do not want to delete emails form the server. Just copy to my cellphone, then if i delete from it, the email keeps in the server.[/SIZE]
Everytime i sync with wifi, all deleted emails from my TOUCH PRO (T7272) are also deleted from the server (hotmail).
I have an outlook in my job that does that (in my house, i lost many days trying to configure... and still doing the same thing as my phone, deleting the messages from the server, even worse, couse delete after transfer to the computer...)
ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION?
I know for [email protected] there is @ setting to [email protected] PPop or something [email protected] keeps your [email protected] in the server when you delete it from cell. Sorry I'm no help
i use gmail and it just labels my e-mail as "deleted item" and then removes it from my inbox. but its still in there. check if its in another folder in hotmail.
How have you got your Hotmail account configured, I use my live (hotmail) email address on my phone, configured to get my emails using POP3, with the "Keep messages on the Server" box checked, knowing how you've got your phone configured would be helpful.
well
sorry
my configuration isnt by that type, and well, i think you just told me the sollution.
The way the thing is, is that i have program from microsoft, "live mail" that comes with messenger and some other things. I just needed to login into messenger to it configures my email to receive messages.
I will try to delete it, and try to configure by pop3
Thank you.
Dear all,
I have this issue with my Mango on HTC Titan.
Some of my Windows Live Messenger contacts always appear offline in the "online" page of the messaging hub. I know they are online on Windows Live Messenger, and I see them online if I use my pc.
Even stranger, if I try to send them a message, by forcing "Messenger" in the chat page (even if the phone claims the contact is offline), the message gets delivered to the contact's Messenger client immediately.
Also, the contact does see me online. It's basically like if the contact is in "invisible" status, but just for my phone.
Note that it happen with *some* of my Windows Live contacts, not all of them!
Did anyone experience the same issue? Any ideas?
Many thanks
maTTeo
I found the solution.
Basically the contacts who were always invisible to me on the phone, were those in which I had ticked (involuntarily) "Limit XXX's access" on their page on the address book at people.live.com.
I still don't understand why, if I limit a contact's access, I can't see him online from the phone, while he can still see me online. At least vice-versa would make a bit of sense.
Hope this can help anybody with the same issue.
Cheers
