Windows Live Mail Contacts

I would like a shortcut to Windows Live contact list on my quick launch bar.
Is there a way to do this.

Re: Windows Live Mail Contacts

No..

Contacts are accessible in the Live applications for
a Live ID with a hotmail, live, msn.com address in:
- Windows Live Mail(Live ID signing req'd)
- Windows Messenger(Live ID signing req'd)
- Hotmail web user interface(Live ID signing req'd)


For WLM without a Live ID signon, contacts are accessible within WLM(no sync with Messenger or Hotmail).

Re: Windows Live Mail Contacts

Hi,

I would like to sync the contacts folder in the personal shell folder with my windows live mail contacts. How do I do this?

Re: Windows Live Mail Contacts

So would everyone else. There is no mechanism to do that.

Re: Windows Live Mail Contacts

Sync is not possible between WLM(default or Live ID's Contacts)

Using Vista ? If so, export the Contacts from WLM to a CSV file, import in Windows Explorer or Vista Windows Mail.
Repeat or update manually thereafter.
Note: Repeating with a later updated WLM csv file may cause duplicates..edit accordingly.

Re: Windows Live Mail Contacts

For WLM(see the section on Contacts)
How to Backup Windows Live Mail Accounts, Contacts and Messages
http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com...90CA!174.entry
- remember the location the file was saved

For WM
Open WM
File/Import/Windows Contacts
Choose CSV then navigate to the earlier saved file location, select the csv file, follow the instructions.
