I like to know that to, my contact list is an absolute mess right now.. everyone I ever send a mail appears in my contacts list.. a great feature microsoft... NOT!
Any other way, other than deleting them manually?
I just installed Orwells crossbow, and ran MS Live. The contact list is now a mess :-(

+1..........
well, you do have two options.
when you have duplicates you have to enter their hotmail address into the corresponding IM field.
If you dont want to show them it is best to put them all together in a group and then to setup a filter to not show this group. This wont prevent the contacts from being synched
BIG NOTE:
Do not remove manually
It will remove them from your global contact list (i.e when you sign in on your pc your list is empty!)
Still no solution for this really annoying issue?
remove msn contacts
just wondering the same....
it's really a very very horrible feature....if i filter by groups the upper index don't work and neither the search box....
I'm working on a similar problem. The first time I ran it it put all of my Live messenger contacts as separate contacts on my address book. I had to remove them multiple times and from multiple places to keep them from showing up. I have since put all of my contacts email addresses into the IM field of their address book entry. Unfortunately my Live Messenger is now blank and I've yet to be able to figure out a way to get them back over. I THINK that if I had a Live mail account I could make it work by importing all of my contacts into Live mail using the Outlook Connector. Unfortunately I set up my passport account years ago with my ISP email. You would think that MS would have a way to add live mail to an existing passport but apparently you can't. . Now my MSDN account as well as my Xbox Live accounts, neither of which can be changed I don't believe. Rather leaves me in a bind, unfortunately. I have put in emails to MS support trying to find a way to import the contacts into Live Messenger but, unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be possible.
the work around:
use an companyname i.e. Live Messenger for these Live Messenger "contacts"... in this way you can sort on company name....
it is not the best solution but it is a bit ordened then
How about Unchecking the "Contact And Messenger" from the
Options/Sync options.

nop....when u try to sing-in for the first time (also with the sync option uncheked) a pop-up appears telling you that the msn conctacs will be imported to the phone contacts...if u cancel, you can not sign in....
Stupid Feature!
This is the most annoying feature of the new Live Messenger. How come can MS think that people would like to merge their MSN contact list with the Phone contact list.
It is a mess!
I suggest using another messenger variant like IM+ or Agile.

Octro Talk is also very promising; but it sure would be nice to use the otherwise very well done Windows Live Messenger... it's hard to believe that Microsoft will leave that "feature" to be mandatory for long in a product that quite some work must have went into and that becomes a hassle to use because of the messed up contact list. I even lost some data due to the clunky handling of the Live and Exchange contacts combination...

Its the worst feature in windows live. I better use IM+ to enter MSN messenger. I hate that all my hotmail contacts are copied into my phone contacts. I tried to syn my outlook contact with my hotmail contacts but at the end i ended having duplicate contacts.
My advice dont sign in using Live Messger, find an alternative.
idea
I was trying some things with .net 2 but no success. MSN stores contacts on the outlook repository so there is no way to delete those entrys and not delete the MSN contact.
I think de only way to solve this is to find a way to start de contacts screen with a custom filter. For example not showing contacts that first name equals to empty. That will do the trick for me.
With custom ListViews or ChooseContactDialog of .Net 2 you can make some filters, but i can´t find a way to make an exact replica of the original contacts screen and all of its functionality....
So there must be a way to start de original contacts application with a custom filter that doesn't show contacts having first name as empty.
any guru?

not a solution but a way to use live messenger and then restore contacts:
- log in to live messenger
- enjoy it
- sign out
- go to Windows Live
- go to options
- click on switch account
done...msn contacts are remove from outlook contacts
Please give more info
Dear Eljoe,
Can you give a little more info about switching the account to remove contacts imported from MSN to my Exchange/Outlook address book ?
Could you give a little more info on every step why and what you do exactly ?
If you really "tackled" this problem, it should be put in the WIKI for all devices !
Please enlighten us all a little more

Hi!
I am trying to download my Hotmail mail to my Kaiser with a Vodafone contract account!
The email comes in but no attachment ! No small envelope with the paper clip shows. I can download attachments with Vodafone.net email.
I wondered if Vodafone were blocking the downloading of attachments but the Vodafone representative told me that you cannot download attachments from Hotmail account that is a free account.
He then said that I need to register and pay for a Hotmail service that allows this.
Are any Vodafone users experiencing this problem ?
Thanks for any help !

Hmm that's odd. I use windows Live to get my hotmail email on the v1615 but haven't received any attachments since i put it on my phone so i dont know. I'll try sending one to myself now and i'll let you know how it goes.
Edit: Ok so i sent two messages with attachments to my hotmail account and i accesed one using a wifi connection and it worked fine. The other one i tried with a data connection and that too was ok. So bottom line is: It works. Maybe your settings are set wrong. Maybe you have it set to not download attachments. It has nothing to do with the hotmail account itself as that guy told you.
Hi ga41!

So please can you tell me what your settings are ? I would like, very much to know where the settings are for downloading Hotmail attachments !
Could you check your phone for me!
Ofiaich
I checked my settings and i can't see anything in the hotmail settings involving attachments. Are you using Windows Live to see you hotmail messages or something else?
Hi ga41!
I am using Windows Live !
I coould not find anything either, but I can see information about attachments in my Vodafone email account.
Ofiaich
Sorry i couldnt be of more help. I really dont know what's the problem with your phone... Can you download attachments from other email accounts?
Yes, I can download with Vodafone !
STrange, can't get the Microsoft Excghange Server to synchronise directly either...
Ofiaich
Dont know dude. Maybe a reset? Or if all else fails a hard reset? I really dont know.
Hi,
no, waste of time reseting............been there done it,
It's wierd
Ofiaich
Hi!
got the Microsoft Exchange Server working now....
Outlook 2007 PC address on the PC was different !
Attachments in Hotmail still do not work, but don't care...! The email throught M.E.S. gives what I need !
Ofiaich
Great man. Glad you at least got some stuff worked out.
Hi everyone
I was just wondering about what are cool program that you could use on the wing using the Data plan ( internet).
I currently have http://www.palringo.com/ which is a messenger program that runs on with data plan. It really nice program and for people that like to chat with aim, msn messenger etc...It doesn't require TXT plan.
I was also wondering about my mail. When i go to the AIM site to check my mails only see text, not picture what so ever..Is there something wrong with my phone or is just not mean to be??
aad4321 said:
is it an @aim.com? im sure thats a pop3 email account. Google pop3 settings for an aim account, and you can set it up so it uses the mail application on the phone, instead of using internet explorer. you can also set it to check for mail automatically anytime you want

Hi i kind of follow about what you said and instead of me cheking my emails on the internet explorer(My wing), I set up the email on my phone..So now i get my message on my phone directly but most of the picture theu dont display.. So i told my friend to send me a picture to my email, when i got the email and the attachment. I couldnt download the attch. or view it.. So i told him to send it as when you insert a picture . When i got the new messg. i saw the picture but i wasnt able to sae it to my phone.
** is there any plug-in for these **
In the touch flo Mail section, you have the different mail accounts. When I activated MSN, the program added the Windows Live/Hotmail account. I've removed it with a reg editor, but in the touch flow mail section, you still see the WL account. Does somebody know how to remove it?
I had the option to NOT choose for it when installing MSN Live ?

Yes, I did choose the no option, but the mail account was installed. Now I want to remove it completely.
I had no mail account created that way. Strange. Anyway, I really don't know how to get rid of it. I believe you could fix it in the registry.

To remove completlety the hotmail account, emails and the synchronized contacts from your book, you just need to change the windows live id thats logged in.
When you are asked to accept the new terms before you create a new account just "reject" and exit messenger.

Hi guys I have an htc diamond no brand and i am getting crazy with the setup of the mail. i mean the account email from the tf3d tab. every time i try to set it up (i have an hotmail free account) i cannot complete the configuration because opera starts up and i go to the webpage of hotmail. If i close opera, no account have been created so i have to start from the beginning again. i cannot save the account, i am able to fill in only the page when it asks the email and the password, nothing more!!! what's up??(((

i tried to set up an outlook account and it works, it is saved but i can't do it with hotmail... why??
Err... the FREE Hotmail doesn't support pop3...
does it?
You can set it up with outlook and it SHOULD work with Windows Live.
Hmm, I've set up my Hotmail account twice without problems as far as I can remember. Entered my email address and password, tapped Next and it was recognized as such by the set up software. Maybe having Windows Live Mobile installed has something to do with it? You can try if that helps if you want. Here you can find the cab file, courtesy of my custom ROM dealer
When it opens up opera it goes to the windows live login page. Just press log on or whatever it says and enter your info. should work since I've done it several times..
it starts opera to windows live page and then i clic on hotmail but i only cann see the mails from the webpage and no account is created. every time i have to do the same thing...

Hi there. I had the same problem as you. But I solved it.
When I first got my phone I configured it so hotmail would turn up in my inbox, without opera or any browser, but since I installed the latest ROM I couldn't get it to work - when I tried to configure hotmail as my email it wouldn't save my account - just open up Opera.
But I now know how to do it. You can't set hotmail as your email directly, you need to configure Messenger to do it. WHen you do that, you are asked if you want to use Live (something) as well as Live Search. I removed Live search but kept the first one. Then I was asked if I wanted my email and contacts to be synchronized and I klicked Ok. Now when I click on my emailtab I have my hotmail emails there!
/S
Thanks for the advice. Work fine for me.
