windows live mial contacts and windows contacts

Hello

I have a problem with my windows live mail. I have my contacts in the
windows contacts folder, but they aren't show in live mail? How can I sync
both folders? I don't want to administer both contact folders.

Best regards
André B.

Each WLM account has its own unique Contacts and used when signed on to WLM with a Live ID.

Hi

I don't really use Windows Live. I've only installed Windows Live Mail and I
manage my contacts with the integrated windows folder. I have anywhere read,
that you can select an option in windows live messenger to sync both contact
folders, but I have no idea, where it is? And I don't want to have only
contacts with an live-account in my address book.

Best regards
André B.

I am not aware of any method to automatically sync WLM contacts
and Vista's Windows contacts. However, from within WLM Contacts
you can manually import Windows contacts. You can also export
WLM contacts, and then import them into Windows Contacts.

Hi

Thank you for your answer. I hope, Microsoft will fix this problem soon,
because in my opinion it's strange, that the official mail program of
microsoft doesn't work with their allready installed contact programm in
vista. If someone still know any solution for my problem, it would be very
helpful for me.

Best regards

Vista's official mail program at the time is Windows Mail[WM]which shares the Vista Contacts.
Windows Live Mail[WLM] is an "optional" program which uses its own contacts(unique to each Live Id) or user a created default
Contacts(not the WM/Vista shared contacts) when a Live ID is not used for sign-on.

The solution available at this time was provided by Gary M.
- Export the contacts as a csv file and import in to the other client. If contacts are modified repeat the process in the
appropriate export/import direction.

I also want to syncronize contacts between my Hotmail and Windows Vista, I
normally use Windows live mail but as Vista had its own mail software I
decided to try and use that instead and have my hotmail contacts accessable
though Windows Contacts.
I entered my e-mail address in Windows mail setup and got the following
message:
"Windows Mail no longer suppors the HTTP servers used by Hotmail and other
web-based e-mail providers. Click the back button to set up a different
e-mail account or see other options for accessing your web-bassed email"
So there you go, Miscrosoft Vista mail doesn't support Microsoft Hotmail and
therefore forces you to use windows live mail software that doesn't support
Windows Vistas contacts.
Well done Microsoft, you thought long and hard about this I can tell

Windows Live Mail can access Hotmail accounts. It can import all your
messages and contacts from Windows Mail. Just use WLM instead of WM.
There is no provision for sharing the same set of contacts between WM and
WLM.

Yes but that still doesn't help me with the problem of Windows live mail
contacts and Vista contacts not talking to each other.
Every time a friend of mine logs on to live messenger, or I receive an
e-mail from a friend, windows tells me that he/she isnt a contact because
vistas contacts doesnt have them in, even though that person has been a
messenger buddy for years and I have their e-mail in my hotmail account.
I dont want to have to constantly keep manually updating windows contacts
just because it wont talk to hotmail.

Once you switch to WLM, there should be no need to have any

It sounds like you don't have all your protocol defaults set up properly.
