I have many contacts that I only have on MSN. Since I've started using WM6 and Windows Live for MSN on my device it has added all of my MSN contacts to my phone contacts - this is a huge pain when it comes to finding the person I want to call.
I know I can show only those I have phone numbers using a category filter, but this resets when I close contacts or reset the device. Does anyone know a way I can permanently hide my MSN contacts from my phone's contacts list?
Thanks.
I have same proplem
anyone have answer?
Just check the option in MSN Messenger / Windows Live so that it doesn't synchronize contacts anymore.

I have upgraded to mUn_2.00.SE_WWE_GPS and everything seems fine apart from the orange voicemail bug mentioned in another post.
Messenger synchronized my msn contacts onto the phone so I had 2 of each which was fine as I have all ready read about this issue.
So I updated the msn ones and started to remove the original ones from the phone.. They have a different icon
All appeared fine. It would tell me when my contacts were on line etc etc.
I then went to outlook and made sure there were no contacts in there so I could have a fresh updated list of contacts when it synced.
However these contacts will not synced. I created a test one in outlook and that synced fine to my phone. Am I missing something here??
All I want to have is the same contacts on my phone/windows live and outlook. Surely this can be achieved??
Are you using ActiveSync 4.5 already...? I suspect that might have got something to do with your issue
Do you get any error-messages at all ? Giving us some more clues....?
And very important: what version of Outlook do you run ?
more info, hope you can help now
I have it synced with 2 machine and neither work.
1 is windows XP with active sync 4.5 and outlook 2003 the 2nd is vista with the mobile device center and office 2007.
I can sync normal contacts created on the phone or in outlook it is just the ones imported from live messenger that will not copy back to my outlook contacts.
I have a feeling the phone does not recogonise these as contacts as they have a different icon from ones created on the phone. It looks like a grey folder rather than the little address card.
Please help
Hmmmzz....actually this is very interesting; i didn't dare using Live Messenger up until now just BECAUSE of the syncing of ALL messenger contacts into Outlook. Now that you report that it doesn't, the question raises if M$ has meant this to be...
Then again; did you check the settings under Windows-Live (on your Trinity)? You can go to 'options' with the right soft-key, and there are 6 setting menu's there, where you need option 2 to check the box in front of 'Contacts and Messenger'
Let me know if that worked for you...

contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list
contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list.
sim contacts
outlook contacts
msn contacts
are shown whithin the same contact browser but are not really merged.
Each contact type only syncs with it`s proper sourec, pocket outlook wit desktop outlook, msn with msn (or say "live"), and SIM contacts with SIM-import-export programs.
that's all and that's ok.
the real issue is that i find "show SIM-contacts merged yes/no" but cannot find "show msn contacts merged yes/no".
it sucks, but not really too much.

hello all - i'm using b&b4.1 on my orbit (cheers tom!) and I was just wondering if there was a way in contacts to view only the contacts on the phone i.e. not live contacts or sim contacts? Also, having signed into msn I now have 100’s of unwanted contacts under different names and I can’t seem to be able to sync the contacts with outlook or windows address book so that I can delete/rename most of them. Anyone used an app to work around this – if possible I’d love to use pocket CM but is there a PC syncing utility?
Cheers
Hello,
Is there anyway to stop Windows Live Messenger contacts being added to your phone contacts. I have tried going to Windows Live, select 'menu' and go to 'Options > 2 Sync options' and disable the option for sync contacts, But then when I go to sign in to Live messenger it tells me that it will sync my contacts to my contact lists.
Thanks
Anyone got any ideas for this problem
Hello,
I ahad this problem...But, when you install window live messenger, it ask you : "Add your MSN's contact in your mobile's contact", remove it. (I hope that you understood!!)
I understand what you mean, splodger15. I think it's kind of stupid idea that we have to sync all fkin contacts to our phone. I tried to disable it but , as you said, it seems like no way to do that. I don't think I need all msn messenger's contacts on our phone 'cos I use Window Live Messenger just to chat with my friends. so I don't need all fkin 500+ emails to be on my phone. for this reason, I prefer Pocket MSN to WLM, though WLM has more features than PMSN.
let's see what I got....
- My phone is Dopod D810 with WM6 rom and I love it.
- I tried to delete a WLM contact on my phone while I had WLM online. it was totally gone so I had to add my friend back again.
- I tried again, had WLM offline, deleted all 500 emails, and online again. I got nothing on WLM's contact list but......a second later, all email had synced and appeared on my phone's contacts again.
- if you know anything new, please let me know. I would appreciate it.
Good luck and happy holidays..........
I logged in to the MSN Messenger and all contacts were downloaded to the MSN application.
The problem is now when I look at the phone directory at my phone contacts I see my contact phone but also a (long) list of my messenger contacts.
How can I seperate the 2 lists. i.e. to have my list of IM friends when I log in into the MSN and to have a list of contacts (phones only) on the phone contacts?
thanks
there is an option when you log into msn for the first time to add your contacts to your phone.....sounds like you didn't uncheck the box
so I can I undo it?
remove msn contacts

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes...open Windows Live, go to Menu --> Account Options --> switch windows id...this will delete msn contacts from phone book....then create your account again with no merge option
worked..
it worked for me...
also for me
thanks
Hi all, i just bought a hd7. I logined with my live ID then all my msn list installed into contact list of my phone :S How can i delete them ?
I dont think you can. The MSN messenger contact list and Windows Live contact list is shared.. although I wish they'd include a checkbox in settings to only show contacts you have the phone numbers to or something.
This annoyed me, I deleted all my contacts but it effected my MSN (people are still there but I need to readd them to see them online).
In the end I just linked everyone to their facebook profile.
I found this really annoying when I got my WP7 phone so I soft reset the phone (held both volume keys when turning on) and created a new email address during setup ([email protected])
seems the only way to fix it for now
