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

I never see any posts about this. Starting to wonder if im the only one. When i do a send/recieve on my gmail account it takes a while to retrieve messages. sometimes 5 minutes or more. It usually sits on "looking for changes" for the majority of this time. My Exchange account will do this in under 30 seconds. Anyone know why this is? I had this problem with my hermes as well. Im sure its something with Windows mobile or gmail and not the phone. Just curious if this happens to everyone. Thanks.
It takes about 20 sec to connect to my gmail, receive and disconnect.
maybe its a cingular thing?
I have cingular/att.. lol. sorry man
my Gmail account does not work at all
I had to use FlexMail to get it to work
I had a similar problem with Pocket Live Hotmail (using Outlook Pocket of course), it took the client about3-5 min saying "synchronizing Inbox'' but after that.. I get a message saying I could not communicate with the server..
thankfully, with the help of one of xda-dev members, it turned out that when you have very large inbox, Outlook will not work...so I organize my Inbox, and divided it into folders, and it works very well now...
you might have a similar problem...and maybe this is why it is taking so long to retrieve your emails...
BTW, if anyone knows how to get Gmail to work with Outlook, I'd really appreciate that
cheers

Hi!
When I am syncing my Diamond, it does not want to sync birthdays and gives me the error report "XXXX birthday Time:32-10-09 00:00 Duration:1440 minutes". Does anyone have any suggestions?
./InstantGravy
I had this. It seemed to be because I had set a birthday as a re-occuring calendar item back in 2005 and had also set the same persons birthday in contacts. I suggest deleting the calendar item if there is one. Worked for me.

Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, it does not solve my problem:-( I have tried removing all birthday entries. I have also tried removing all the birthday entries directly in the calender. It does not seem to matter, the error is still there.
Any other ideas?
./InstantGravy
Same problem
I have the same problem on my raphael, at first this problem occurred when I had also set the birthdays in contacts, after removing al the birthdays in contacts this problem was solved. Only now the problem persists with one appointment inviseble, to my mac, pc and raphael. From what I have read about people solving these problems it almost always had something to do with a different calender making appointments inviseble to outlook. The thing is it is invisble to al my calanders, and I dont know i what way appointments are stored (That way I could delete them manually). Thus... not a mayer problem, it's just that the error WMDC and pocket activesync give me, are annoying the crap out of me, cheers

I have had this issue, luckily Pocket Informant was able to actually see the "hidden" apptment and I could delete same. PI8 has saved my bacon here many times as I sync with 2 machines, on XP other W2000 (work...)
PI8 also had an "advanced" ways of looking at the recurring birthdays...resetting the recurring date for birthdays/anniversaries using PI fixed my issues
Duplicates would often appear and ODIR (http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp) would sort that out...
Basically Activsync sucks....and you will spend a lot of time "patiently" solving these issues....Hope this helps and good luck!!
Aight thanks man great tip, no matter how careful I am keep needing software removing my doubles and manually recreating some of them to, almost to the point where was searching for an iMac... . thanks
Sorted it out with Exchange
Hi y'all and thanks for your time and effort!
We switched to an Exchange server at work and that solved my problem. Now I am able to sync with exchange at work and with my Windows Mobile Device Center at home. Still has a few glitches, but a lot better than before. My "Birthday" problem has disappeared as well, so I think it had something to do with syncing two computers with mobile device center.
I agree that ODIR is a fine product worth trying for those of us that have had a few duplicates created in our sync efforts.
A pity that the sync function of windows mobile isn't better than this.
Hey all
I have the same problem as "InstantGravy", with the sync-error caused from birthday-entries.
Error:
Emne: Emilies Fødselsdag
Klokkeslæt: 06-08-85 00:00
Varighed: 1440 minutter
I know it's in danish, but it's the same kind of error as "InstantGravy" is talking about.
Can anyone, (If anyone got one) please please please bring a step-by-step on how to resolve this problem. It's driving me crazy. I hate when I get errors on my phone/pc...
Any help is much appreciated...Thanks

I have input all settings but it doesn't want to sync
I had this same issue since it was a suggestion for AthineOS's newest M2D release which is like a cross hybrid email system between 6.1 and 6.5.
Partially Working
According to the Google help forums, email syncing is not active yet. After reviewing the site below, there is no mention of emails syncing
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
I was able to get contacts and calendar syncing.
If anyone is experiencing error 0x80004005, trying removing calendar sync. After successful sync, add calendar back. If error continues, try adding an entry to your calendar.
was anyone able to sync multiple calendars with WINDOWs mobile??
i tried m.google.com/sync but it says my phone is not compatible.
Even after changing the language, it didnt work, i m just able to downloadthe page but no calendar options in there.
when I go to m.google.com/sync
it tells me - device is not supported
well, google agenda and contacts sync works fine for me.. did not do anything special.. just the abc from google..
working whit the rom from -G-(garmin) version 10... just the plain full version.. no M2D or something els..
Thanks for the Tip!!

oO much better, because it sync's your outlook without your phone with google.

I had this error and the suggested solution didn't work.
However, the opposite (removing contact sync, sync, add contact back, sync) DID work.
It does seem a bit of a strange procedure, does anyone know what is causing this?

I know this is a rather old message but I would like to share my knowledge as I searched for this 0x80004005 error for a while.
The trick is to disable the tasks in the syncing and then it works like a charme.
Hi all.
Please, could anybody help me? After reading a received email message, when I tap send/receive again, all the received e-mails disappear. I don´t know why.. I have my mail account via pop3
Go with IMAP instead of POP. Just erase the account and do a completely new set up. make sure to put IMAP in the account type and give it a go.
Do some searching -- there is a bug and a patch from microsoft with a possible fix for this issue.
I have the same problem with the mails disapearing from the inbox when I select 'send & recieve' but the only patch I can find is to solve a problem with emails not being sent...???
Could anyone please help me finding the patch to prevent mails disapearing automatically - or maybe a step by step guide? ;-)
Thanx to all, 1st: my mail provider does not support IMAP yet.
2nd: I found if I set downloading "today" emails, after send/receive all of the read email are gone, but if I set the period for downloading last 3 days, the stay in phone for three days so that all (I think)..
