Windows Live Messenger on WM6

Hi to all!
I want to know if there is a way to use the Pocket MSN on WM6. It's really annoying for me [and for other members I'm sure] to sync my phone contacts and WLiveMessenger!!!
Thanks,

Everything is there!
1- uninstall WLM
2- download WMXL_Optional_Applications - link at wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDA_Live_Extras
3- install Pocket MSN
that's it

Pocket MSN on WM6
Thanks a lot men, I didn't read that part!

Just for the record, when you are installing Windows Live, you can tell it not to sync your contacts.

I found sync easy. delete all from msn. add to your existing contacts 2nd email and I M address. then in ur pda contacts list use the right menu and say add to contacts. then the whole lot syncs and links from pc outlook to pda contacts to msn/hotmail account and state add to messenger. soooo easy.

syncing contacts on vario 2 without buying outlook for vista

On my old phone (Nokia) i could sync my contacts into Windows address book on my laptop. Now I've got the Vario2 and vista on my laptop the sync will only let me download my contacts into microsoft outlook- which I don't have and do not want to pay loads more money. How do i back my contacts up or get outlook free

I recently found a program called "PIM Backup". It allows you to back the data up to a file which you can then copy off.
Try looking here or off a similar thread for the download link -

Hi.
Have a similar problem
Using Outlook Express for Email and instead of MS Office / Outlook we use Open Office [its free ]
Found a link to connect O.E. YET to try it, but it is ...

Also if you know of a calendar plugin for O.E., please post it

i use Jeyo Mobile Companion, brilliant for backing up contacts, sending SMS via pc.
Its different to some others in the fact that you compile the sms as you would an email but it sends it via the phone, so no internet connection needed.
Its brill at work, save "un-cradling" then reply/send sms then cradle, its all done with a swift alt-tab. heh

Alternative to ActiveSync
I haven't (yet) tried it but there is a project called FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com) which claims: "FinchSync is a tool for synchronizing contacts, appointments and tasks from Mozilla email and calendar products with a Pocket PC or SmartPhone."
If anyone has any hands on experience with this program I for one would be interested to hear about it...?

you could set up a mail2web account which is push email and has a outlook style web based interface allowing you to sync everything contacts,calendar and tasks Did i mention its FREE. www.mail2web.com

You're using Vista? The WMDC will let you Sync your phone with your Vista Contacts - no problem - infact you should now also be able to Sync your mail with Windows Mail and if memory serves your calendar with Windows calander - all things that with XP you had to have Outlook to do!
EDIT
Sorry - seem to have spoken to soon. The beta version of WMDC allowed for Syncing with those programs - I always use Outlook so I haven't even really looked at those settings since - it appears that it was something they supported in the Beta and dropped from the final edition which is quite unfortunate! (probably just trying to sell more copies of outlook). A free work around might be to use Microsoft Live Mail e-mail client (Not Windows Mail) and then install the windows live messenger and set it up to sync your contact details with Live Messenger and then the Live Mail client should then have a synced version of your contacts - just another idea - sorry bout that!

Auto new contacts into the adress book :confused:

Hi,
I've installed Jeyo Mobile on my computer in order to manage my SMS.
I've seen there that the tools has also others possibilities : adress book, call missed,...
That's how I've found the "problems". I find new contacts in my address book that I don't have added.
In fact, I have new contacts with only the adress mail, no name and sometimes the call numbers...
When I try to analyse where it comes from, I think that it's th synchronisation between the HTC and Hotmail.
Has someone experienced the same thing?
Do you know if it it is possible to disable this option? And how ?!?
Thanks a lot for your helps.
Benjamin.

Not seen this kind of behaviour before, sure they're not coming from Outlook?

that's normal
Yes, when u log in on msn u have a option that says - ADD MY CONTACTS TO THE PHONEBOOK - u must have ticked it. Solution is - go to windows live and disable ur account and log as a new account - when it ask u if u want to add them to ur phone book just UNtick that option.
If u've also syncronized from outlook then they'd also be added.
Note that if u delete windows live contacts from the phonebook u'll be deleting them from windows live itself! Do this and when u log msn u'll have 0 contacts - happened to me - live and learn hope i was of any help
