Messenger live wont sync contacts to outlook

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.

Windows Live // WM 6 // Outlook 2007

So guys
My mobile device is all trough Windows Live now.
All my contacts are in my MSN list with phone number and all.
Also installed Outlook connector so i can see my mail and contacts at Outlook.
Now the big problem is...
When u use Outlook Connector it creates a second contacs map like this example: Contacts at [email protected]
But active sync syncs with Contacts and not with Contact at [email protected]
And if i simple copy my contact from the live account to contacs it results in a copy of all contacts on my Hermes.

Any one got any idea to change this?
Thnx

Active sync will sync your outlook 2007 contacts,
Live Messenger will sync your Live messenger contacts.
Outlook connector lets you access and manage your Microsoft Windows Live Mail or Microsoft Office Live Mail accounts, including e-mail messages, calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts.
If you are using Live Mail instead of outlook 2007 active sync will not sync with Live Mail contact list.

Program to sync contacts and calendar other than Outlook

Hi,
Is there any good programs that I can use to sync my Artemis calendar and contacts to my computer? I've used M$ Outlook, but recently I did a clean Windows install and I can't find the Outlook disc.
So if you have a good alternative to sync my contacts, calendar and also, if possible, SMS and emails, I'd like to hear from you.
Thanx in advance!

Hi, you can sync with Active Sync and save your contact to Outlook Express

i have sync calendar, cantacts and tasks with free exchange server at mail2web.com.
I am quite happy with this way because when i have to hard reset my 3300 on the trip i can sync my all contacts back through gprs in few minutes on air and without any PC.

Synchronisation

Hi all,
I'm having troubles with Outlook synchronisation for a long time.
I use normally the MyPhone software to synchronize. This is mainly because when I synchronized with Outlook through ActiveSync a lot of my appoitments (and contacts) were twice in Outlook and in the phone.
What the best would be if Outlook took the data from MyPhone, but that's something impossible.
An other option is to "clean up" the Outlook calendar and contacts before synchronisation. The problem in this is that I don't know how and if this is possible?
Double entrys in Outlook won't botter me that much, however in my phone they do.
Can someone help me with this? I guess I'm not the only one suffering this problem...

A laborious alternative is to sync back to Outlook on your PC, remove the duplicates on your PC, then sync back to device.
If you want to do it in Outlook, you may find it easier if you change the view of your calendar to display by Categories. On Outlook 2003, this is achieved by:
View > Arranged by > Current View > Categories

[Q] How do I sync/merge contacts and calendar using windows phone 7 from two sources

Hi there,
I used to have a windows mobile 6.5 device. I sychronised over the air with exchange for work, contacts, calendar, email and notes and then at home via activesync and usb cable between the same phone and my home pc.
This meant that my phone, home and work machines had calendar and contacts in sync.
I have purchased a new Windows Phone 7 device.
For home I have configured the home outlook to sync with windows live. I have set the phone up to sycn with both windows live and with my work exchange account.
On my phone I can see contacts from either source (work exchange or home outlook) However this is displayed as being from the source accounts and will not merge/sync through to the other account.
I would like to (and used to be able to with 6.5) for example add a new contact in outlook, have it then sync to windows live (working) then sync to phone (working) then sync to exchange (not syncing contacts added elsewhere back to exchange). I would also like to be able to do the oposite (add something to exchange account and have it appear on home account via syncs.
Does anyone have some ideas, suggestions, solutions?
Please feel free to ask questions if I have not been clear.

from what i can see, you can link contacts but not merge them completely.
the only way i've been able to do it is to edit the contact details and save them to the appropriate account...but i wouldn't do it for all my contacts..
best bet would be to do it on the computer. can't you sync outlook to your work exchange and then sync your phone to outlook?

Hey there,
thanks for the response. unfortunately i can't sync home outlook direct to exchange, we have ip security for access.
It used to work a treat under win mo 6.5 this is a real backward step.
Any other ideas greatly appreciated.
