I used to sync my hotmail and msn mails directly with Pocket MSN via ActiveSync, the messenger working too
Now with Live (pre-installed on WM5 AKU 3.5) it stop working (messenger) and i don't know how to re-configure mail accounts
any idea how to configure Hotmail or MSN with new Pocket Live
If any one has "Pocket MSN" installer please send it
best regards
Windows Live
I am using Ivan's AKU 3.5 and this does not come with Windows Live pre-installed. Therefore I downloaded the Windows Live cab-file from the xdev-ftp site and installed it. I just needed it to get access to my Hotmail account. After istallation I logged on to Windows Live and set up to only sync my email (not my contacts) and everything worked smoothly.
Dunno if it is of help, but there is no need to downgrade. I also 'tested' Helmi's UKA 3.5 and Windows Live worked for me (as far as I remember)

I am using the Windows live and I do receive my hotmails without problems. In fact I would say it is better than previous pocket msn.
I have tested to sending myself a mail from other account. I have received the mail on my device ca. 15 -30 sec. after it has arrived on my hotmail inbox. It feels like push mail. Indeed I have started to forward my usual email accounts to hotmail and get it pushed to my device.
Who needs a exchange server :0)
I do exactly the same thing All my e-mail now goes to my hotmail account. Just be carefull that you don't drain the battery when staying connected
I was wondering if anyone has the cab installer for Pocket MSN. The ones before Windows Live? ... I've even asked this in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1090483&postcount=334
Is the above cab file the installer?

Strange.
PMSN puts the emails (send & receive) in "Hotmail Inbox/Sent" but Windows Live put the emails (receive? & send) in "Windows Live Inbox/Sent". At least those which I sent via Windows Live goes into "Windows Live Sent", not "Hotmail Sent".

Anyone has Live Messenger or Pocket Live worked via ActiveSync connection??
it doesn't work with me, but Pocket MSN does.
it fails at the final step with "Windows Live is unable to connect. The service may be temporarily unavailable, ..." error, but I have an internet connection (tested by IE)
I'm having this problem with windows live on my dopod 838 pro.
Here's the problem.
Whenever i click on the Sync tab on my today screen, it will start synchronizing all the folders in my email, download whatever emails, upload whatever emails and then it goes to "personal settings" and fails.
I get this message on my today screen in the windows live tab saying "Synchronization Failed.". Anyone experiencing this problem?
Its not that i have never synced before cause the last successful sync was on the 15 of april 2007 at 11:39Pm.
So i am quite boggled by this. I was thinking it was because i was connecting thru wifi, but even when i have it docked to my pc, it fails. I don't know where to start. I've checked my settings both on my dopod and also on my pc and also in windows live settings.
Anyone know anything about this issue i'm having?
I guess no one has encountered this problem....
I need to find out. Also, does anyone know how to merge contacts. Example:
Outlook contact: Smith,John
Windows Live Messenger: Smith,John
How to merge these 2?

I've got the same problem, whether I connect via WiFi or GPRS/UMTS
It used to work perfectly at all times, then it started working for only a few hours after a soft-reset, now it doesn't work at all bo matter what I do.
I noticed that sync is done automatically while I'm connected to messenger (and mails and contacts are synchronized ok), so everytime I want to check my emails I just connect to messenger for a while and then sign out...
any help is welcome !!
problem occurs using Black 2.0 ROM (didn't try on LVSW yet)
Why Sync is failing
Hiya!! I found the cause of this issue... if u go to ur msn (windows live) on ur pc and get rid of your display picture then the sync will be successful on your PDA, however if u display a pic and then sync, it will fail... it doesnt seem to like exporting ur picture, however it will be down I think as Windows Live is merging with Xbox Live in may on the xbox 360, so it may be something which is being done at the moment! otherwise everything else will sync.
sync works for me now, with or without display pic
maybe it was a server problem...
Thanx man.. Your suggestion really worked. Also, do you know how i can merge my contacts? I have duplicate.. I tried renaming all of the contacts in MSN on my PC to suit my outlook.. but it still shows up different...
I found a way to merge contacts. Make sure the Name, IM and Email are exactly the same. And delete your windows live account, and then resync it again. it should then merge everything.
you could also try clearing the ie cache and temp files if you are not saving them the the storage card. I had the same problem I could only sync after a soft reset and usually only once. I noticed my mem had dropped to around 25mB or so when it is usually around 41mB. After clearing cache and temp files I very rarely have that problem and if I do, I free up more mem. Hope that helps

I have problems with syncing my live contacts with Outlook 2007 in Vista..
Live contacts just don`t appier in the outlook, when I re-flash my device, I loose all the live contacts but on the next windows live sync my contacts just appier back with phone numbers and everything.. I wonder where is all the data keept, phone numbers and everything.. if it isn`t in outlook 2007 ??
I had this problem too! Will try what you suggested. Strange that it works for a few hours then stops. I found that signing in and out helped.
Does anyone know how to change the reply to address?
I get this error too but it still downloads my emails ? I think thats strange and alot of the time Messenger wont signin I get some weird error about it.
It's stopped working for me. Deleted my profile pic, still no joy.

same for me, removed the display pic, works only sometimes...
Please don't shout at me coz I've Googled and searched this forum but can't see anyone with my problem (which I guess means it is my problem?)
I can sync wirelessly with our hosted Exchange server and Calendar items and Contact items sync from Exchange to my Black 2.0 Tytn OK. Emails however do not. They just appear to be ignored completely. I think it worked OK with Black 1.2 but I can't be absolutely sure.
Is there some email setting I have missed somewhere?
what's wrong with the WLM synchronisation? :S it's been doing this for days now.
EDIT: for me, i can seem to get my WLM to fully synchronise if i don't synchronise my email.. i think the problem (in my case) is because my Live messenger address is not a real email address (it's a forwarding address which is linked to my real email account).
I'll toss my hat in the ring alongside those getting this 'synchronization failed' error. I receive all my emails ok, however messenger shows all my contacts as offline (but I must be logged in, as people can message me), and my display name only shows my email address. This has only begun in the last day or so. I am running Windows Mobile 6 Black 2.5 Telstra.
I have tried a soft reset and also using 'switch account' to see if that would recreate the connection, but no go. I'm not sure if it covers mobiles but Microsofts MSN status pages shows no known issues.
A colleague of mine has his working fine on the same device/software I have.
This is driving me nuts!
I find if I clear the password and login again it works.
Activesync has very nice logging, does anyone know how to turn logging on for Live?
I have my domain hosted by live i.e. my mx records point to live. Wonder if this kind of account is a problem?
Fellow xda people...
I'm a ms messenger addict, well I like it anyway and I've been looking forward to using it on my vario over uk T-mobile web'n'walk...I'm running black 2.5 so now I have the "windows live" thing on my today screen and I'm signed in...
thing is, seems to work...but i CANT STAND the way it insists on putting all my MSN contacts into my contact list! Does this annoy anyone else? Anyone found any clever work arounds?
Typical of microsoft trying to integrate an app and take over the whole machine - horrible?
cheers
bb
its so annoying...almost makes me want to use a different messenger client?
using black 2.0. cannot sign windows live from yesterday until now. it said no internet connectivity but i am connected with gprs and also wifi. can surf net also. it the mobile server different from the desktop?
I'm talking about the contacts in particular....
anyone else use messenger - windows live....polluting my contacts !
I had the same problem when I first used the live messenger beta a few months back. The final version does have the "sync contacts" optionality but as you say it still syncs them and creates duplicates and rubbish!
The only work around I found was to use outlook to copy and paste all the relevant info from the original contacts details into the new contacts created by messenger and then deleting the old one. This then avoids the duplication next time you flash and set up live.

That seems to work the best for me, I don't have to many contact and it wasnt that hard for me to delete them all and put them back in again - when you do this it asks what sort of contact you want - I think MS should have included a wizard that goes through your contacts when you first install them asking if you want Outlook, Contacts List and/or Messenger for each contact.
Another problem I found was everytime it synced from phone to computer, it would change my Messenger contacts, I found that if you edit the contact in Windows Messenger and make sure the name info is the same as what is one the phone has stored, it solves this problem, my contacts sync OK now.
I have the same issue, so i just reverted to using Pocket MSN...
Someone posted a workaround in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1236933&postcount=22
Don't know if it's working since I didn't have time to install Live Messenger and try it out. Can someone try it?
My Workaround ...
Yeah,
I had the exact same problem. And i have HEAPS of contacts both messenger and outlook ... and of course ... i'm ridiculously anal about having everything exactly perfect ... so i fixed my contacts and reinstalled my phone ... hah
What i found worked for me, was before syncing the first time, make sure that you have outlook contacts corresponding to the email addresses of your messenger contacts. (ie: if windows live messenger sees you have an outlook contact with the same email address, it will just attach the msn display pic etc to that contact.
- Phixx
cheers for this...infuriating !
I have now taken the route one approach...deleted all the daft MS Messenger contacts and removed Windows Live from my today screen (I would delete it if I could)....Hope I never see it again!
The best way to deal with it is to make sure all of your contacts in MS Live have contact entries in Outlook. It sucks, but once you have all of your contacts sync'd up, it's pretty cool: you can see people's online status anywhere you see their contact info on the phone.
BTW; no matter what route you take, you MUST back up your Live contacts and your Outlook contacts on your PC. Seriously. Do it now. I made the mistake of not doing that, and during one of my many reloads, I somehow managed to wipe out my entire Outlook contacts list *and* my Windows Live contact list. It was not a fun day restoring that.
Go to Contacts->Save instant messenging contacts in Windows Live on your PC.
yeah, but i don't want my instant messenger stuff anywhere near my contacts...to me it's a separate app! (or it should be) MS trying to be too clever by half.
What would be nice is if it put the messenger emails in contacts under "emails" Ie personal / business and email catogries.
It really is quite annoying when sifting through the contact list to find a phone number and having to sift through 100's of mail addresses too.
Of course I do try to use the smart dialing but they still come up.
Just having to do these work arounds every reinstall / HR e.t.c is tedious at best.

I want to do the same thing, only I can't find the install for pocket MSN, the only one I could find was on the MS site where you have to pay for it.. it came with my TyTN so I don't want to pay MS another €15 for it!
Can you please provide me the install file? whether it is in PM or in the thread
Thanks alot man
I quite like the way it works.. It's a little bit annoying if you have contacts who have really messed up their details online so that it can't link them to a phone contact, but other than that I really like it.
It would be nice if there was an advanced sync option where you could somehow pair orphan people on MSN to people in contacts on the phone so that it was aware they were the same person.. but I'm not gonna complain too much.
or just give you an option to turn it off.
I'm having an absolute nightmare with this!
I really like the idea in concept and want it to work.
I deleted the contacts it added to my phone adress book cos it looked messy not realising that when I sync'd with my PC it would delete them all (85) from messenger!
So I started re adding my msn contacts being careful to also have a corresponding Outlook contact and all was going well. I was getting them linked up nicely. Now all of a sudden, they've all gone again from my MSN on my PC!
I want this feature to work, I don't simply want to turn it off as some of you have done. How should I go about this?
Yes, me too.. There are nice features in Live messenger for WM, like showing display picture, voiceclip, sending files, pictures, etc, but this contacts problem is so darn annoying! I wish some wizzguy could look into a hack or solution

Hi,
Im havin problems syncing my hotmail account through the windows live program - it syncs contacts and the inbox perfectly and get all the info - but it does not sync all my other folders.
I like to put my emails into different folder (e.g. University, Ebay, Play.com, Family etc etc) so I keep myself organised. The thing is if I want a file that a friend sent me two weeks ago and I put it in the University folder I cannot get to it and would have to transfer it before hand from my pc to my inbox. (ie the mails inside my other folder are not being synced)
Is there any way I can solve this? Maybe some setting I missed or an update to WMLive that fixes this?
Thanks to anyone for his help
JP
Hi,
I'm facing the same problem but haven't found a solution yet... :'(
In you inbox screen tap menu in the bottom right and then extra. There should be an option manage folders i think. I dont know exactly because my phone is not english. It is the second option in the extra menu. You can just check the boxes of the folders you want synchronized.
yes its called manage folders
thanks a lot
also, not sure if it interests you or if it even answers the issue but hotmail's mobile website looks fantastic on the Opera browser...
My main email is on AOL and I've just ditched the buggy email client for AOL's wap portal...
give it a try!
Hello everyone,
I noticed there are some people with lots of experience on the issues of the TP2 since the march ROM update.
Ever since I connect my TP2 or login on messenger on my TP2 my email addresses are getting into my contact list, it's very annoying since I need to delete 300+ contacts everytime this happens....
I have looked every possible way to disable that but I cant find any solution so that's why I am posting it here.
Thanks for helping!
Any one ?
just delete all contacts in your live acc
i think no other way, cause it syncs automatically
Hmm, isn't that a Windows Live option? In Windows Live (on your device), go to Menu>Options>Sync Options, and disable the option to store Windows Live contacts in your contact list.
