How to remove the windows live messenger contacts from my contacts list? I want to hide contacts from MSN Live in my Contact?

Any way?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rvbcrs:
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!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sids911:
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..........
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PseudoReal:
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 :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Whiterat:
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!)

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....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Avatar28:
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.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mouragio:
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 ;)

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....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fastguy:
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.

Best regards,

Emre
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Falk:
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...

how to import back my contact to Live Messenger ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hiimcliff:
i have a question relating to this topic....

how do i get my hotmail contacts to register in messenger live without adding them manually? i have about 600 email addresses and most of them use live. i refuse to do the transfer manually.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] charly_mx:
Agreed

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.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eljoe:
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?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eljoe:
workarround

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

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 :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Alcibiade:
In a sense, it doesnt matter too much for me thatmy Live contacts are added to my normal contacts (Though it pollutes a bit my Contact database)

I ran into a few problems, though and I'd like to know if some of you have the same ones:

1. These new contacts do not synch with my mail2web account. May it be that Mail2web uses Exchange 2003 and not 2007 ? (All the rest: emails synch or usual contacts synch work)

After all I am not too unhappy they dont synch... so fine with that. The rest is more troublesome

2. I have many doubled contacts between the ones added by Live and the existing ones. The trouble is: if I delete one added by Live and add the extra info (IM1 address) given by live to the existing contact, Live does not recognize it and I lose it from my contacts in Live (I guess Live is adding something else I cannot see from my contact fields under WM...)

So... i did the reverse. deleted the "normal" contact and added the extra info the the contact added by Live. Live doesnt lose it. Great. BUT then I cannot synch my contacts with my Mail2web anymore (I get an error and it stays stuck...). I guess again the "extra" added by Live makes the contact unsynchable... And while when it was untouched, it didnt disturb synching, once modified it just make the whole process fail (Again could just be a Exchange 2007 vs Exchange 2003 problem, no idea)

Anybody can help ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tylerrbrown:
One (crappy) way to do it... but it works.

...if you export your messenger contacts (off the contacts menu in desktop version) then open that file in notepad, and look at all the email addresses that are your messenger contacts, and ensure that the corresponding Exchange contact has this address as the FIRST email address, then delete all of them msn contacts off the phone (which will pull them out of your messenger account, desktop too) then add them back, via the exported file in desktop version, and then sync on your phone, it should merge them (if you have that option turned on) with your outlook contacts, and you're good to go.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!

This is great! :D

After I now got all the messenger contacts in my outlook because of sync, i removed most of the one's that was stored without any phone-nr.

Now since my mobile got synced with the pc, live thinks that I don't want these contacts anymore, and removed all my contacts from msn :p

So, any solution on restoring the contact-list? :p

#SOLUTION

Wee, In Live messenger's settings, under security, you can see all the people that got you ond theirs contact list.

Here you can right-click on each person and select "Add to list" :)

Same problem here.

Been playing with it, and found following solution:

If I use the same account on my desktop PC, and there remove the Display-Picture, everything on the Wizard works fine again. ;)

So, juist Enable the option on your desktop WLM to display a picture, and the sync your WLM-Mobile again.

I discovered that "feature" the hard way.... Damn you microsoft!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Avatar28:
No, and the pisser about the whole thing is that it won't sync the other way. I have changed my passport to tie into a hotmail account that I have upgraded to live mail. I had HOPED that when I synced live mail with my device it would pull the contacts off it and put them into Live Mail as well, but it doesn't. Apparently the sync is only one way. No luck trying to use the Outlook Connector either, but they are supposedly working on a new version so maybe it will do it.

What I hope to have is seamless integration between everything eventually. Everything syncs with basically everything. Live Messenger syncs with Outlook and the Windows Contacts (in Vista), automatically adding new users to my buddy list (or giving me the option anyways) if I have an entry in the IM field as well as the contact list on my PDA. Likewise, if I add a contact to Live Messenger it gets propagated to my PDA and Outlook. Better still, if a Live contact (the ones where the person can update their info and it gets updated on everyone's address book in Live Messenger) changes their info THOSE changes also get propagated across all my devices.

THAT would be cool.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] monkey_knight:
would it be possible to import/export your contacts from the ISP, then to create a new live hotmail account and then import/export it back into there?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Avatar28:
As configured previously, no. I have gotten my passport changed to a Hotmail address but it still doesn't allow me to merge the two. Supposedly they are working on a new version of the Outlook Connector that may allow me to sync my Outlook Contacts with Livemail. HOPEFULLY that will add those contacts to Messenger but even then I'm not certain that it will without causing all kinds of duplicates.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nicksource:

Merged Live Messenger contacts & Outlook contacts

Hi all,

fyi. I have managed to merged my Outlook contacts and Live Messenger contacts. Here is what I have done to prevent dual records in my contact lists.

For those already have double records in your contact list, export your MSN contacts list using Live Messenger.

Then go to your contacts list in your WM and delete those MSN contacts. BE CAREFUL to delete only the MSN contacts, NOT your Outlook contacts.

For those who HAVE not sync yet. you are in luck, you do not have to do the above. But you start here....

1) Make sure your MSN contacts for the relevant is entered into the OUTLOOK contacts IM column.

2) During Sync, ensure that you check 'Merge duplicates with outlook'

3) Sync using Windows Live.

4) For those who deleted your MSN contacts in WM, reimport your contacts.

5) Sync using Windows Live again.

6) You should see that now, those MSN contacts will be merged together with your OUTLOOK contacts.

Disclaimer: I do not know further impacts that may be brought about through the merge. I assume that if you delete the contact either in Outlook or MSN, it will get wiped out in your WM Contacts. (To be verified) So be careful if you want to keep the contact number but want to delete your MSN contact. Use at your own risk, as the above served my purpose.

So, instead of directions to lead me back home, it's coming up with a search result (ironically the search result comes up with numerous threads of other users experiencing the same issue).

Location settings are all enabled. No luck.

I've signed in and out, and then back in to my Google account. No luck.

I've set the Home address under Places, unset, and then reset it. No luck.

I have personalize search results enabled. No luck.

2. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/datatools and under Account management, delete your Google + account, and select both check boxes (not sure if this is requried).

3. Go through phone set up.

4. Go to Google maps and accept terms & agreements. Edit your Places (HOME, WORK, GYM, CAR, SCHOOL) should all be empty now.
