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?

There's a way to remove the windows live messenger contacts from my contacts list?
I don't want thats messenger contacts on my FONE contacts LOL!
I already have a lot of contacts ad that contacts are a crap!
Please, someone can help? thanks
I think there's a bug and if you remove them from your list they'll be removed from your msn acount...
That's not a bug, it's how it is supposed to work so that your contacts are integrated.
I don't think it's something you can turn off, but then, I haven't tried.
You can always add a category to your non-messenger contacts, and view by that filter if you don't want them showing.
I have more than 200 non-messenger contacts.
That messenger contacts on my PHONE list are crap

You can bulk highlight them in Outlook and add a category to them.
To *you* it's crap
I have about 150 contacts, 50 messenger contacts, and of those, about 30 I had as real contacts anyway. I like the way they are both integrated into one thing, and that the information is with me wherever I sign in.
I want the msn contacts hidden from my phone contacts list without selectiong categories all times... Or just dont add these contacts to my phone...
just a setting
It is a setting in Windows Live. When you set up the Windows Live connection you can choose if you want to sync mail and/or contacts. I only chose mail and my contacts did not appear in my address book.
You can change it in Windows Live: Menu/Options/2 Sync Options - Deselect contacts and messenger.

On mine, it still puts the contacts in, it simply does not synchronise my address book online.
That option is about the online sync with Windows Live services, not about placing them in your address book.

Basically, tough. In this instance, 'I want' doesn't get! Microsoft have designed it this way, and until a new version of Windows Live is released that doesnt do this (unlikely), that's the way it will be
Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks
What you need to do is when it asks you if u want to integrate the contacts you say Cancel, you then go to the right hand menu at the bottom of the screen and select windows live. It will open a search box with a login button underneath.
Log in to windows live and it will give you 5 screens, 1 of which disables the syncing of the contacts into your address book..

That option is to do with synchronisation with the windows live address book. This is not the same as your contacts/address book on your device.
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...

With removing the phone
Please Help
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,
I have a couple of questions:
Is there anyway to delete multiple contacts on the O2 Xda Orbit (WM6) without deleting all.
And also is there anyway to stop Windows Live Messenger contacts being added to your phone contacts.
Thanks
In Windows Live, select 'menu' and go to 'Options > 2 Sync options' and disable the option to store your live contacts in your contact list.
Dunno how to delete multiple contacts on the device, I use Outlook to do that.
G.
Gave the first one a try but when I go to sign in it tells me that my Windows Live contacts will be synced to your contact lists. I did incheck the box which says sync Windows Live contacts is there anyway to stop this.
Thanks
Sorry for the double post but has anyone got any ideas on this.

Look into 'ODIR' Outlook duplicate remover (google) when you can sync a pc with activesync. Install ODIR (shows as an option in outlook then) and it will safely remove all duplicates.
Or
Look into a Pocketpc program such as SKTools or pocket Mechanic, both have trial versions, and have the option to remove duplicates as well, but now on your ppc.
Gracias Twiggerdingo
any idea on the messenger problem.
Thanks
The 'newest' wlmessenger has an option in it so you can choose manually. I thought it was at the start (when installing) but it should be in the options (todayitems?) as well.
Deleting multiple contacts / messages / docs etc

When you are in contacts tap the keyboard and then tap ctrl on the keyboard and that will let you select more than one contact, once you have selected all the contacts you want to delete just tap and hold on one of the highlighted contacts and select delete.

Well? I have synced all my contacts through my account, I didn't use Titanium backup. Is there a way to sync things like Photos, birthdays into the calendar and such? I see that the facebook app does allow it but it doesn't work
You can sync your Facebook contacts with your phone contacts. If they don't link, just go into the phone contact and press Menu > Join and select the right one. You can do it manually by filling all the info out of the phone contact.
Cheers dude i just tried that and although slow as hell, i put all the main contacts i wanted to sync in Favorites and did it that way...thanks again
When i bay this phone i export contact to gmail from outlook,and sync on phone and all is ok i get all contact.I have cyagen mod latest stable,and i put new 3 contact to my phone and i want to sync.I turn wifi go to sync contact and press ,and what happend?All my contact is deleted from gmail and from my phone exept these 3 new?I have backup and restore contact to my phone,but how to sync with phone with gmail?to have contact on gmail?
Hehe fast from me!I found options on gmail /contact restore contact and works!!!But still it is same question.I create new contact on phone and when i sync i want to have on gmail contact too
I believe it will auto-sync to your gmail/google account once you have added it. Then when you switch roms. You can restore all contacts. Nice to see you figuring out your question.
But when i add some new contact to phone and go to sync on google contact create just THAT contact and delete all others also on phone.

Couldn't you do a bulk sync? And select all your contacts to be uploaded together, so google has an updated version of your contacts.
