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 !!!

So yes... i finally got outlook.. great i can back up my contacts to my PC YEY!
*plugs in phone*
*syncs*
yey...
o wait ALL MY NUMBERS HAVE BEEN DELETED as well as my calender.. >.>
haha great stuff... so i get some numbers back.
half of them i make a new contact for and these ones appear in outlook after i sync again...
but i have the newest msn live mobile.. and for some reason that saves all the hotmail emails in to my contact list.
so i add numbers to the peoples email address's i can find..
but these ones dont sync up... is there a reason why?
also how can i get outlook to add the emails to the sync list.
thanks in advance xD
In your ActiveSync options there is a place to "resolve Conflicts" If Its set to use Outlook it will delete contacts not in outlook.
anyone else know why my msn emails wont sync with my outlook?
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.
hi i have a problem here
I use to save new contacts in the HD7, assuming it will update the HOTMAIL contacts database when i sync the account
but now I look that it doesnt sync the contacs to my HOTMAIL account and also it erase the contacts (from HD7) that i dont have in the HOTMAIL account
how do i can solve this?
i mean, i dont want to be updating HOTMAIL contact list one by one....
WP7 is starting tu upset me
Is hotmail the only email account you have it set up for? Exchange, Gmail, anything like that?
Either way, go to Setting --> Email and Accounts -->Windows Live and see what is set up to sync.
I have 2 hotmail accounts one for the contacts that i dont use for email
and one for the email...
but in no one update the contacts...
in the "primary" (Contacts) one... it only have the option to sync email

When you Edit a contact, it should give you an option to choose which account the contact you want to edit is from, provided that you have multiple contacts linked up and sync'd to multiple accounts.
If you only have 1 account that sync contacts, your phone should automatically be editing that contact on that 1 account, and it should update to the server almost immediately.
If you have no accounts that are syncing contacts (including no initial Windows Live ID tied to the phone), then your contacts will save to your device.
At least thats how it is supposed to be working.
I've never had any issues syncing to my Hotmail Contacts account. It has worked flawlessly since day 1.
I've never had a any luck syncing contacts to my hotmail account. I even lost 75% of them cos i got frustrated and decided to flash my phone regardless.
My friend uses hotmail to sync his contacts and he was saying yesterday something about him having to log on to his hotmail account on a desktop pc before his contacts would sync. I'll try and find out more about what he meant cos it didn't make much sense to me.
I use my gmail account to sync contacts now and I must admit it's been flawless. ever contact I create on my phone gets synced to my gmail account. Who'd have thought that would work better than MS's own hotmail?

Until this week had been able to get Calendar sync with my corporate exchange account. Had to factory reset phone as it would not boot up.
Reinstall of email accounts went OK ... and as usual selected to sync calendar & contacts.
Yet Calendar does not sync ... email & contacts do.
Calendar remains blank - (so it is not the problem with prior to 2010 dates)...... if I manually create an entry then it shows in Calendar as the 'next appointment'
If I double tap calendar (or go via settings/accounts & sync it shows that :
sync background data - ticked
auto-sync - ticked
corporate account 'sync is ON' and shows green circle.
If I do a force 'sync now' it spins for a second or so, but does not bring in any dates corporate calendar.
It's not account access settings as email & contacts coming across OK
Have carried out a h/w reset again without SD card ... same result, (to rule out card format issues.)
This is BT (Vodafone SIM) and also connected by WiFi.
email & contacts sync no problem.
Any ideas ?
update ... after 3 days had some calendar entries populate ... but stilll nowhere near in synch.
Anbody offer any help on this ?

After hardware reset had no improvement ... I updated to FROYO then to Gingerbread .. uisng KIES 2
Now all OK.
I don't think it was a fix in the s/w but I think the new software flushed out something in the build that a reset could not clear.
I have the same problem with calendar. My biggest reason to get this phone is because I needed a good calendar that can sync with Office Outlook and I just can't get it done anymore. Nothing is being synced and I really need all my appointments with me at all times (I'm in the medical field and need to be able to give patients appointments anywhere I am and don't want to tell them I will call them back when I'm in the office)
Any solutions or is upgrading to Gingerbread and Kies 2 the only solution like Sargan did?
You guys may want to use an app from CodeTwo. It's been recommended to me by my friend who is Exchange admin in a big company, where employees wanted to be synced to their office calendars, mails etc. and access them on their mobiles. The program syncs exchange public folders with your private mail clients on androids, iphones, blueberries etc.
oh, sorry, forgot to say, it's called CodeTwo Exchange Sync and is free in a trail version. You can download it from CodeTwo's official website.
Or the Enhanced Email for that matter - works great and sorted out all Calendar issues I had.
Been txting my friend this morning and suddenly I started getting txt from a number not in my phone book. Turns out it was my mate who I had just been texting all morning. I then had a look through my phone book and I have lost loads of numbers!!! quickly checked my hotmail address book online and for all the contacts, their facebook details are there but outlook/hotmail details which include phone numbers have gone!!!!!
Any ideas?
i'm having the same problem. i used the transfer my data app to transfer my contacts from my iphone 4s to my lumia 920. now all my contacts are gone. i can still see the name and numbers of people that i have called or called me. but when i tap on my phone book to see who is in it no one is there. it's asking me to set up an account. i'm really starting to get pissed off with windows phone. maybe i should return my windows phone and give my money to apple. their **** just seems to work with no problem. how the hell can i have windows contacts on my computer but it won't sync to my windows phone without first transferring to outlook? i don't use outlook. i hate outlook. maybe this is why ms is so far behind ios and android. it sucks!!
You havent associated your contacts with your MS Live/Outlook/Hotmail account?

I have the same problem several days ago: the numbers of many persons I intended to call suddenly disappeared, on all of my lumia 920, desktop outlook, and People on web. The losses seemed to happen when I was editing one contact on Outlook. When I just saved the changed contact, it disappeared. Later, I start finding lots of contacts lost. This really bothers me now.
Guys I have the same ****** problem now...DID u guys find a solution for it?Plz help

I switched my sim card from my lumia 520 to new android today.Then,I tried syncing my hotmail on android but there were no contacts.I took my lumia and saw that the contacts were missing in that too...I tried checking the connected accounts:1 hotmail and 2 Google accounts.The hotmail account is showing synced but the Google accounts are still showing 'syncing'.I tried everything but still continues..My suspect was mayb the contacts were being synced to the Google accounts but got interrupted.so the contacts are neither on my phone nor hotmail nor the Google accounts.help me out guys...PLZ...I hav very important contacts and need them
go to https://people.live.com/
and if contacts there, export to CSV file...
go to Google https://www.google.com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=0#contacts and import contacts there...
also if contacts on phone use official Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/contacts-message-backup/9nblgggz57gm to export contacts to SD card
