What do you mean by, "Got windows live on your device"? Is there an app, or are you just using Internet Explorer to browse to http://mobile.live.com
Rob
yes it is possible
@dny238: you can get windows live mobile for wm5 by searching the forums or form the ftp
@mrmrmrmr: indeed it is possible as i have it on mine
how to: ok i have only tested this on the htc AKU 3.3 test rom but it worked and it seems to left poket msn installed after installing windows live
basically all i needed to do was to enter the windows folder of my device and found a file called INSTMSGR with an msn messenger icon it loaded msn messenger (the old one that came with the device) and pocket msn appeared again in the start menu
please leave feedback on whethere this worked for you tell me your rom version aswell so i know which ones it willl work on and which ones it won't
will post screenshots as soon as i have time
i suppose using http://mobile.live.com you could have three email addresses going if th need be
Hey a bit side tracking but just want to point out, I've been trying windows live (the app version) on my SPV M3100. And basically it blows pocket msn, the web based Live and in fact any other messenger app out of the water. Its so easy and functional. First time MS got something right in a long while.
Just wish my wifi connection didnt cut off every time the phone went into sleep mode.
If you aint got Windows Live Messenger get it now.
( I should ask MS to pay me for the free promotion)
even easier
after fiddling with my old charmer I found an easier way to do it as the other method didn't work
go to windows folder, start menu, programs and set it to show all files the poket msn icon will apear but still won't appear in start menu so just copy and past a short cut to the same folder and voila poket msn and windows live at the same time and this does work
great if you have a personal and business email accounts and you want to moniter them both

Hi guys/dolls,
My 1st post of hopefully many .......Got myself upgraded(?) from a FSC Loox T830 to an Orange SPV M3100 (mainly for the larger screen & keyboard) but note that there is no MSN Messenger installed!?! ... How can I get this or Pocket MSN installed? Also, anyone had luck on using 'push email' on this device through the Wlan connection?
MSN messenger wasnt included by Orange deliberatly i think, dont worry it is available on many different ROMs.
Push email works through activesync (on the device) you need to setup an exchange account somewhere and email sent to that account is pushed to the device if you are synced through GPRS/HSDPA Wifi or even through the USB lead on your pc. Denials service is quite good, and a simple $10 donation is all he requires for it. You will find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305612
There's also a CAB floating around for Windows Live Mobile... sorry I don't have a link but search for it and you'll find it.
I prefer using that over the old MSN Messenger AND you get free push email with hotmail - awesome!
Please use forum search.
I posted on this very topic a couple of weeks ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307477
If you are wanting Pocket MSN then use the thread above.
Orange remove this from their device as it goes against T&C's but there is a CAB attached to the above thread that gets it working.
If you use Live messenger then it has an in built expiry that means you have to re-install it every now and then. It's still in BETA stage.
I would recommend using Pocket MSN as it is working fine error free for me and my M3100 using friend.
Thanks guys.....downloaded and installed the 'floating' CAB, Pocket MSN back and works a dream! Boo Orange!
I have got the Touch yesterday. Everythings work finde except the windows live messenger getting some troubles.
Live messenger could not show any people in the ONLINE list after first time logon. I 've reconfigured my msn account, without any problem at first time.
but... the problem happened again. Any idea?
Yessssss, I haven the same problem : no contact and error message !!!!
There's a new version of the messenger client, linked on the hermes general forum.
The new client works fine.
@ bencassie Can you copy/paste this link please?
1st search result on google for "xda developers new messenger" and you get a post with this link -

What's the lastest build of WLM?
My Touch comes with 10.6.0026.2700... getting "None online" problem.
Can anyone provide a .cab file? (I don't have any windows installed)
Thanks,

Are you guys have a Chinese TOUCH?
I had no problem with Windows Live.
If you have an English TOUCH,
I had no problem with Windows Live either.
Now, if you have an English WM6 but loaded a Chinese OS on it, then it may or may not work (mine didn't) with Windows Live.
Windows CE just like its damn older sibling Windows, applications can run into conflicts; PAIN in the rear end.
I own a Dutch Elf, and the problem occurs here as well :-( No errors or anything, just no-one online. They can message you though, but you appear offline in their contact lists :-\
Edit:
Just installed the newer version of WLM, and now its working great
Can someone post the link for the latest WLM? The one I have on Touch is 10.6.0028.2700
Here:

If your touchs' MSN Messenger has problem showing online contacts, this version can fix it
Does this version install over the old one thus taking no extra storage space?
Yes, it will install over the existing but it seems that it does take more memory space...
No update necessary
I've found out that deleting your password in windows Live and login in Windows Live with another account and accepting the license thingies again it works like a charm. (long sentence, lazy today)
WLM Build 1400.CAB
When im trying to install this,
Im getting a error, about: you dont have the rights too install this blabla
Anyone knows what to do know ?
I have a french HTC touch and the problem is the same. the only way to be really connected is to configure the connexion on each time.
If i only ask him to connecte the touch seems to be connected but is not.

Now, my friend gave me her Herm100 so that i can fix a few problems...
And that worked out great, i got ALMOST everything working.
Except, When she trys logging in on MSN, It Signs In with her FIRST profile.
Now, she got a new windows live account, For work use.
But every time she logs in, it takes her to her Old account.
Is there any way i can reset the Settings from Start.
Or, is there any other "Messenger" Programs. Particularly for MSN.
-Thanks
Possible Solution
If you are using Windows Live Messenger then there should be an icon called “Windows Live” in your programs menu. If it is not there then it is installed as standard in the Windows directory and is called “WLMLauncher”
Click on the icon and open the application, then click menu and account options.
You should be able to switch your Windows Live ID in there.
I hope this helps,
Dave.

I have tried but I can not seem to get this to happen on my phone.
Which version of Messenger are you using?
Also, are you synchronising your e-mail?
I am not sure but if you are synchronising your mail then it might be worth checking your server settings in active sync. This is just a guess but it might be attached to your MSN account.
I have searched the registry and there are two places where it mentions my MSN account. I deleted them but it did not seem to reset the logon under messenger. I suggest you search your registry for them and try renaming / deleting the keys referencing your account and see if that enables you to change it.
I hope some of this is of use to you, let me know the MSN version you are using, I am using Windows Live for Windows Mobile Version 10.6.0034.0800
Dave.
I posted a few attachments, check them out.
I can not seem to get my messenger to do that.
Can you please click about and tell me which version number of MSN you have?
I think a good first step would be to try reinstalling Windows Live (If you have not already done so). You can find the cab file on the following page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
I suggest you pick "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" as it is the same version I have got and no matter what I have tried I can not get the same error as you!
Good Luck!
Dave.
Okay, now I have installed 10.6.0034.0800.
And the problem still goes on.
Its okay i guess.
Registry
I can not replicate your problem so I am only try it guess now.
Can you try doing a search of the registry and removing any reference to your windows live account and see if that changes anything?
Alternatively you could uninstall Windows Live and then remove all the registry keys relating to Windows Live and then try a reinstall.
Sorry this is getting a bit vague but I can not replicate what is happening on your phone.
Dave.
I recently installed Windows Live Messenger on a HTC Vox for a friend of mine and had the same error not being able to set the account. I installed Windows Live 10.6.0033.0600 and that fixed it.

Hi
I got my HD2 yeasterday flashed it to 1.66 before I even put a sim in it and its been working really well. O2 even sent me a phone I could flash from HTC's website.
One is is that after maybe 1 hour or 4 hours windows live mobile will fail to connnet to msn and pull down emails. Restarting the phone is the only fix.
I have unticked the proxy setting just for it to retick when I click OK. Everything else will work fine just WLM will stop working.
Any ideas why and how to fix it as it is a very helpful feature?
Same, WLM is just useless. It will crash after about an hour starting by "the wireless network is currently unavailable" even if it is, at which point it's impossible to force it to disconnect, to close it, and it will hang task managers that try to enumerate the running processes so no way to kill it. After several long minutes it will finally say "you've been disconnected" stops hanging everything and can be closed, but relaunching it and trying to reconnect will only give a "network is unavailable" popup straight away before it even tries to connect. Usually it will cause lockups to other programs too in its wake, forcing a reboot.
I'd really appreciate a solution or alternative. Slick crashes with memory errors, IMPlus only manages to connect to msn half the time even if other protocols always work... I just can't find any msn client that actually works.
hmmmm guess ill have to wait for an update to appear. Meanwhile im going to unsync my email and do hotmail via pop3/imap.
Please post which version of WLM you are using (or is it just the one with the stock rom?).
I`m using an updated version and it's working flawlessly here (although it had problems syncing in the beginning).
OK:
try this one
http://rapidshare.com/files/333732216/WindowsLive.PPC2005_arm.cab
or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L4VOCVG1
ive tried the updated version from the market place and it still does it.
I have loaded your first link onto my phone and we shall see how it goes. I have noticed if i leave MSN signed in it seems to do stop syncing and when i sign out msn the email works again.
10.7.0061.0500.2000, which is cooked in the ROM i use (see below).
And they really could make longer version numbers...
OK, downoading yours now.
tried both of them and the fault still shows. I have created a post on the windows mobile forums which I hope MS will see and will get to the bottom of the issue.
Here is the post for those who wish to contribute: social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/5c420f13-001e-42d6-924c-7385b0274221/ <<< Copy and paiste into your browser as im not allowed to post links yet.
i have the EXACT same prob! my life wud be SO much better if this prob didnt exist. its so frustrating i cant stand it anymore!!! come on ive solved EVERY prob on xda-developers somebody MUST knw the answer
I met the exact same problem. So I have to find a 3rd party IM software Beejive IM.
But it's pretty strange that in WM system, we even can't use MSN.
Hope some one could fix the problem.

does the nudge feature work with mobile msn.or do i need to update the version.where can i get the latest version of wlm
I don't use this software, but have you attempted to edit the registry?
EG what is the proxy it defaults to?
Whenever I install a clean ROM, I *must* go in the registry to HKLM/Comms/ConnMgr/Providers/(something)/(something)/Proxy and clear the key - otherwise youtube NEVER works.
The reason behind this is because everytime you load youtube, Youtube assumed ^that proxy was the one you needed, so it copied the value to HKLM/Software/HTC/Youtube/ProxyName, and nothing worked.
I'm assuming similar behavior is happening here?
So my question is: WHAT proxy is it automatically using?
It can't be a proxy issue, because as mentioned msn works, just that it will "crash" after about 1hr of use, and only then won't connect anymore until the next soft reset.
Hi there!
Same problem with windows love here. At best the service is reasonable....most of the time its just not!
Anyway; instead of just complaining I want to make it better and try the new version in the supplied link above. There is a notification however about deleting the older version existig on the phone before installing the new version. Question: how to delete the old version?? It's not in the programlist...
Anyone?
It asks if you want to uninstall, just answer "yes" and it does (or does not, but who cares, it does install the new one afterwards )
The one in the link was the same I already had though, so no help. I'm using IM+ lite now. Not perfect, but at least it works.
HD2
Ok i dont know if this is anything to do with this thread but got a hd2 but msn doesnt work on wi-fi? does anyone know how to get this fixed? it only works on Data
Thanks
Has anyone found a solution for this yet?
Just wondering, why dont you use the default mail client on WM(setup the mail account) and for messenger, use parlingo? I too had my run with Windows live messenger failing me. I actually did what i've typed and became a happier man. Maybe you like to try that?
i use only exchange email sync and that works perfekt. Lets me have gmail on outlook exchange. But it sux that we cant use a microsoft product full out on a windows phone, makes no sense. All rom cookers seem to given up on msn messenger. But setting hotmail only to sync "as ithems arrive" works great.
Yeah I use Palringo but WLM has much better visuals, ah well I'll give up on it aswell.
Hey All,
I'm getting issues with my messenger & e-mail "there was a problem signing you in to messenger. It may be the service or you may be in a place with bad reception. Please try again later"
The biggest issue I have is that I can't log in with my hotmail ID where I have all my messenger contacts it doesnt' work on the phone & on my laptop which has the error 80048820 i've tried everything to fix that error & it doesn't work on windows 7 messenger only works on older versions on XP & Vista which is weird. Also on my HD2 if I add another MSN ID it works fine, if anyone knows about this issue or is familiar please let me know. I have already done a hard reset but it's still the same.
Thanks
try the latest windows live version from Marketplace (it is free of course). It worked better for me.
p.s. are you sure you are writing the correct user name & password?

Hey, for the latest version of windows it asks me to remove the old one before adding the new one, how do I do that last time did it I had 2 messengers.
Also I am typing in the correct password I even changed it to a shorter password so that i'm not doing anything wrong. It's really a crazy error, like I said I can't even log onto msn on windows 7 but xp and vista works fine and somehow that's what screwed my messenger on the phone.
Just do a little search, there's a thread with many of us reporting that problem. No solution found apart from using the mail client instead of msn for accessing hotmail, and another IM client like IM+ lite for chat. Haven't spent ages trying various msn versions either though.
It's weird though I mean I have other MSN id's that log in, but just the main one I use for chatting doesn't work on the phone or on any IM app. It all started with Palringo I was using it for free and it worked fine once I purchased it for a premium it screwed up my MSN.
like i wrote in another thead. got hd2 but msn doesnt work on wi-fi it works ok on gprs or on data connection. does anyone know why its doing this?
Thanks
