Vista - Windows Mobile Messenger "problem with the server"

Hi,

I have been having a lot of trouble recently with Windows Live for Windows
Mobile. I am unable to sign into messenger because of an error message "There
is a problem with the server".

After a long and ultimately fruitless email discussion with Windows Live
Support, they eventually suggested that I upgrade to the latest Windows Live
for Windows Mobile which does not include Messenger. Clearly this is a
ridiculous suggestion.

I created a new Windows Live account and migrated all my contacts, and this
new account worked for a few days on mobile Messenger before starting to
display the same error on login.

I have a feeling that the error may be related to Messenger Beta's multiple
places feature, because when I attempt (unsuccessfully) to sign in on my
mobile, I am signed out of Messenger Beta on the desktop with the message
"you have signed into messenger on too many other computers".

Please if anyone can offer any advice I would be most grateful. Mobile
Messenger is one of the main reasons I spend the extra to buy premium Windows
Mobile devices, and this problem is extremely frustrating.

Many thanks,

Matt Sharpe

i have the very same problem. got my first windows mobile phone, really
thrilled by live contacts and email sync, but messenger never worked.
probably has to do with me using live messenger 9 beta which probably
changed something in my account...
i just managed to login to my secondary live ccount which i basically dont
use, and that one works. probably cause i never logged in to live messenger
9 with that one...
anyone knows how to circumvent this problem?
is there any update for live messenger on windows mobile? i can only find a
download for an app without messenger...
