lowlight

As the subject states, I changed my Live email address (from one non-hotmail
account to another) and completed the verification. However, now my contact
list appears offline, and I cannot receive emails! Actually, ONE of my
contacts is appearing online, which makes this even more confusing.

It's been 2 days, and no amount of searching is coming up with a solution
(although plenty of other people are having the exact same problem, so far a
solution has not been found).

Help please!
