is there a way of deleting all my msn contacts from the whole contacts system
takes forever to find any one thanks to msn live sync all the contacts into me htc contact
you should have de-selected the option "copy contacts from msn to my contacts list" (sth like this) while configuring your messenger during installation.
I suggest you now use outlook, copying the contacts of the kaiser to your pc, deleting the unwanted ones from the pc (it certainly is easier with a proper keyboard and a mouse) and then sync outlook with your mobile phone (be careful you should set active sync so that it modifies the kaiser's contact list by keeping the changes you made on the pc - have a look at active sync's settings).
i found a software that can actualy do it lol its called ClearContacts
name says it all lol
Glad to hear you found a solution lad
tho i did try the way you mentioned
but vista mobile managing software wouldnt let me sync contacts into outlook
oh yea another problem does your msn live run properly?
im having a massive problem with mine
Well, it says the server is not working properly and I can't connect at the moment... dunno if that's a world-wide issue
On my Windows Mobile 5, I had my Hotmail account in my Outlook. It looked just like any other email account. Now with WM6 on my Touch Pro, when I try to set up my Hotmail account, it just opens the web browser and take me to the Hotmail website, so I must log in there to get my emails. Just like any other webmail.
Is there a way to get Hotmail in my Outlook on WM6?
Have you tried logging into Messenger on the device? It should take you to the Windows Live setup screen, then select sync email (I disabled the sync contacts thing since it messed up my contacts). Hotmail should appear in your mail accounts then
Great! Thanks a lot, it worked
heya, I'm a first time wimo user and i tried to do the stuff you mentioned above, but it didn't work. I got into messenger, but it takes me straight to my contacts list. apart from that i couldn't find the option to sync the contact list. I accessed the messenger software through messages/messenger

While you were setting up your Messenger account there should be a screen that asks if you want to syncronise your Hotmail contacts and emails to your device. If you missed that you might need to re-do the signup process again.
actually, this does work but if u log out of messenger, the mailbox also disappears... hummm...... so its not a perm solution.
I encounter a similiar as you do. I have dl another version Windows Live from http://wl.windowsmobile.com, but you have to remove the HTC PRO existing version which have IM function, this one dl does not. [I use Ebuddy to connect my MSN instead.]

Hotmail location
I checked through my installed programs and the only messaging client i can find is the one with msn aol and yahoo bundled together. is it possible i need to instal a cab to get the messenger w/ hotmail working, or iam i not looing in the correct directory on the fuze?
Try Windows Live Hotmail for Windows Mobile
http://www.gowindowslive.com/Mobile/Landing/HMforWM/Default.aspx?Locale=en-US
the link should take you to the download of the program. Once you install you can set up your hotmail account in you phone and it should go through a process of accepting terms and conditions, etc and then it should appear normally in your phone.
Hope this works.

Does this work if you want to add more than one Hotmail accounts?
You can also use the beta @ http://www.seven.com which will let you have several hotmail accounts. I use it, and it works pretty well.
been trying it from last night but everytime I try to set up the email it keeps saying
Server busy...The server is busy now. Please try again. (108)

I have been trying to set my default phone book as just my Sim contacts. ie. just to use the numbers saved in my sim. But I cant seem to do that on my HTC diamond. anyone has any idea?
And, after signing into windows live messenger via my phone, i realised my contact list is full of my msn contacts, ie. the email addresses of my msn contacts, which is why I wana select the option of just using my sim contacts. Anyone who can give me solution on this?
Really appreciate any help rendered.
Thanks guys...
Cheer,

when signing into messenger (or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part
The options menu dont have that "(or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part " anymore.. You can only select it when u sign in first into msn messenger..
Is there anyway to remove all the windows live messenger contacts in the contacts? Its REALLY annoying because I have 500 people on my MSN list.
Basically I just want all the contacts from Sim Manager only to be viewed in the contacts screen. How can I do it?
sync with outlook delete all live contacts
sync again with the setting make the pda like windows option
first backup outlook's pst file to be sure
and don't use the version of msn msg which auto add it's contacts
to contacts
I'm sorry your explenation confused me.
How do I sync with Outlook?
If I have to sync with my PC that doesn't work for some reason. I get an Error in the Active Sync software everytime I try.
I got it to sync with activesync and it said it synced my contacts succesfully.
But where are they? And it only seemed to sync 120 contacts. If all my MSN contacts are in my contact list on my phone there should be 500+
*bump*
please guys i really need some help with this. Its becoming frustrating going through a list of 500 to make a call.
Hi Guys
I have searched the forum alread and people say that it`s impossible unless you delete your contacts from Window Live.
However , I managed this before , when I fisrt bought the phone in London, in my hotel room I somehow managed to sync only windows live e-mails but not the contacts.
So I remember syncing with Gmail contacts only and I was only receiving my hotmail e-mails but the contacts were not synched !!!
I know this works as I did it. However recently I hard resetted my HD 7 and now I can not remember how to do this. , but I am 10000000% sure I did this.
As far as I remember , first I synced my windows live account and while it was beginning to synching I know I terminated the GPRS connection. Then the phone asked me what to sync later on, but now when I try the same scenario, I can not create the same ....
Any ideas or tips guys ????? Becuse I have a million un wanted contacts on WL which I dont to see on my phone but I dont want to delete them either ....
Ok solution found
OK , I knew I did it somehow !!
Here it is what you have to do when you want to receive your hotmail e-mails but not sync hotmail contacts
SETTINGS > ADD AN ACCOUNT > OTHER ACCOUNT > Then just type your hotmail adress and the password.
That`s it, the HD7 is only syncing E-mail !!!! all hotmail contacts are NOT synched !!!!!
DO NOT USE "WINDOWS LIVE" option !!!!! when adding a new e-mail !!!
