Anyone know of a way I can use it without syncing my contacts?
I don't want it even touching my contact list as it adds all these contacts which I don't want on my device and when I remove them here it echoes the changes on my real desktop contact list. Luckily I had a contact list backed up on my desktop pc so I restored it.
So...anyone know how I can use Live Messenger Beta without letting it touch my contacts?
I guess you could disable the syncing of contacts altogether on ActiveSync?
It would stop any contacts syncing but it's the only thing that really comes to mind at the moment
It's a part of WLM, and I don't think you can disable it.

When I installed WLM it installed two programmes on start menu:
Windows Live Messenger and
Windows Live
If I select Windows Live it opens a screen which has Menu option. Within this is an Options setting that then leads to an option called "Sync Options" with this there are tick boxes to deselect synching contacts and e-mail.
Perhaps that might solve your problem?
Mike
That option is actually 'Sync Contacts and Messenger'.
All I want is the second part of that option...I want to sync messenger so it works but not my contacts.
I personally havent sync`d my contacts yet...but looking a bit deeper into this matter i found some registry keys that might help you.
Just open the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\Windows Live\Contacts\" there are a few options you can change. Maybe if you set the value "CanDoSync" to "0" it might actually stop syncing your contacts.

I just found this in a thread over in the Wizard forums.
Looks like maybe you don't HAVE to sync contacts anymore...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I just thought I'd come an taunt all you none beta testers! j/k
The new mobile client is now out!!! It's available on the Microsoft Connect website, and it's pretty damn good...
Feel free to ask any questions about it, i'll gladly answer.
Some of the new features include:
- Contant sync isn't compulsory any more!!! although the contact sync is more intelligent now, and it's much simpler an faster to sort out the initial sync.
- LARGE speed boost.
- New today/home screen applet (Displays search box, and MSN avatar and contact info (All is optional))
- Windows Live config screen.
- Contact avatars (you can have your own now).
- Personal Message support.
- Original MSN Messenger seems to be left un-touched.

So any ideas when this version will be available.
I saw on that thread there are a few people experiancing the same problem. that the their msn contacts are getting added to thier device address book, which i find very annoying. and when you delete of the device it also deletes the contacts from your messenger list
if i was to get hold off msn messenger the one that worked on pocket pc 2002/2003, would it still work?
Dont suppose anyone would have it??
Where to download Live Messenger
Where can I download Live Messenger for the Hermes I have been looking and simply can not find it.
I saw on the connect website from Microsoft that there is a new version out since 16-12-2006. Has anyone been able to download this version already? If so, can someone give a review ?
Thanks
I've just applied to the beta program
hopefully I'm allowed in.
same i have also just joined. see what happens.
Could you guys upload the installer to the xda-devoloper ftp when you recieve it?
Somehow I'm not allowed to sign up for the beta. Perhaps it's the firewall here at school.
What are the latest news about it ?
Is this "contact sync problem" solved in this version and is this availaibe for download ?,
The versions I've tried you're still forced to sync with no other options
Plus theres been lots of problems even getting push with hotmail...the option just won't stick to "when they arrive" but stays on manual sync
is there an answer for this yet?
i would love to use windows live messenger, but hate getting some 250 contacts added to my contacts (in my phone)
/timmy
Just spent hours re-editing my contacts cos of live! eager to find a way of stopping it syncing but allowing me into messenger!
well is there a program that lets you put contacts into groups so that i could just filter all the live contacts?
a free one? or you know uhh one with a key?
falum: im the same as you, its a bastard to fix..
i wish this could be hacked at the moment, ive also found the WLM is pretty resource hungry, anyone else found this?

A few nights ago my mda locked up and all I could do was soft resets. nothing else. was forced to hard reset and lost all contacts. activesync 4.1 wouldn't restore them because partnership was lost. when I connected phone to pc, it created a new profile and my files folder disappeared from my desktop. I rolled windows xp back to the day before it happened and my folder was back, but nothing with contacts. spent 2 hrs on phone with very pleasant T-mobile tech in pda dept. (beautiful voice, so had to keep her on the phone) trying to solve issue. if anyone can help please do, if it cannot be done, can the files containing the contacts and calendar entries be copied back onto my unit, or outlook? (and where are they?) I appreciate any and all help and input.

the contacts and calender shouldn't be a problem to restore, unless they are gone from your outlook folders, check there first, if they're not there, then they're gone, nothing you can do that i know of. just simply reestablish a partnerships, and they should sync after a few mins. hope u got it sorted.

when u sync with the computer, active sync automaticly puts all the data u chose u sync into outlook. start outlook, then have a look around (in contacts and calender) to see if any of your stuff is there.

hi,
When i tried to sign in the messenger, it warned me that my MSN contact list will be added to my phone list which is the last thing I want to happen in this world.
Is there any way i can use live msn without messing up my phone contacts?
Pls advise.
Mark
Yeah, I didn't want that to happen either so I just installed the older version of MSN and was able to stay clear of those issues.

Be carefull with that! I just did the same on my Trinity running the official Dopod WM6 ROM (SEA), and guess what...: after reboot i entered my device-PIN (NOT the SIM-PIN!) and it said 'wrong password'
Had to hard-reset...
I dunno what exactly caused it, but i DO know that before PocketMSN, and after rebuilding my device without it, i have no issues at all...
I decided to leave MSN untouched in any way (i didn't really use it that much anyway)...

Thanks for the heads up.
I was running the 'Official' Dopod ROM but I removed it and flashed back to AX3L's ROM because all of the bugs I encountered with Dopod's ROM.
Using AX3L's ROM, I have not have any issues with MSN like this, but I will look out.

That's a GREAT question!
I was just thing about that on this moment...
So, are there any tricks to avoid that the msn live contacts mess up with the phone contacts, besides installing the old version...?

If you open Windows Live and go into the options, you can configure the sync settings.
Options are...
Select what you want to sync on your device:
Contacts and Messenger
Merge Duplicates with Outlook
e-mail
This will prevent your messenger contacts merging with your outlook ones.

3 options?...
I remember of seeing there only 2...and even with both deactivated, it messed up the contacts list....
I cannot seem to log in to windows live or messenger. Help!
I don't know if anyone has found a long term viable solution to this problem yet, but I have a workaround that some of you might be interested in adopting.
Step 0 (Prerequisite): Please make sure that all your contacts on your phone have the their Messenger email addresses in the "IM Address" field on the phone (or in outlook).
Step 1: Sign in to Live ID and merge all contacts with Outlook.
Step 2: Go to "contacts on the phone and file all contacts as "First_Name Last_Name", to allow at a glance comparision.
Step 3: Open Messenger on your computer desktop and disable "Receive contact updates" for ALL contacts.
Step 4: Manually Edit the contact information for all duplicate contacts on phone and remove EVERYTHING except the nickname from the contact in Messenger on the computer
Step 5: Switch Windows Live ID on the Phone and sign in again. Merge contacts and they should be fixed. If not, repeat process for recurring contacts by clearing all information from Messenger on your computer desktop.
CAVEAT: Do NOT delete messenger contacts from your phone or your computer in an attempt to fix this problem.
NB: This procedure does not seem to work for Non MSN (Read Yahoo) contacts on Messenger.
to solve the problem on ppc you need to upgrade your live messenger by using thi one wich i fixed
right to the problem -the live messenger on wm 6.1 problem is dead ,killed by tommymarsh

Good Morning Gents,
Synced up my Touch HD this morning and lol and behold, all my contacts started doubling up. Any one else experienced this issue? Or am I doing something really really stupid? This happened with my omnia too..
would really appreciate your help guys!
Sam
One from your SIM card and another from your device? Or both from the device?
Or both from SIM card, one is for mobile phone nuimber and another for say the home or office number?

Both from the same device.
I believe it is currently displaying the Outlook and MSN contacts.
Any way to make it ONLY show the Outlook contacts?
It's a known bug with activesync i know from old Hermes times. If you have this problem the fu..k will double the contacts each synchronizing.
Recommend new sync installation and new start-up synchro.
Yes, one list is from your Outlook contacts, and the other appears from your MSN list when you sync.
Go into the Windows Live sync options and de-select the Store WL Contacts.
I'm not sure if this will delete the doubledup contacts, but will prevent further download of MSN contacts in the future (so you might need to tidy up yoiur contacts list just once).
Cheers guys!
I will try it out tonight. Will let you know of any developments i have.!
Cheers!
Sam
Anyone know why both tick boxes are un-untickable for me?
If you delete your hotmail/live/msn ID in Windows Live options. When you recreate your ID the checkboxes shouldn't be greyed out. It seems to be a one time only choice.

i have this, but i think its phone contacts, andcontacts saved to the sim card.

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.
Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.
how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?
from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

Having the same problem, there's no tick box!
It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.
I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?
