Adding many contacts to MSN by alegator on 01-28-2007 at 12:13 AM

Say I have a list of 100 Hotmail contacts in a txt file that I want to add to my contact list. Do I have to do so one by one? Or is there a way to mass-add them thru an automated process? Thanks.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<messenger>
  <service name=".NET Messenger Service">
    <contactlist>
      <contact type="1">CONTACT's E-MAIL</contact>
      <contact type="1">CONTACT's E-MAIL</contact>
    </contactlist>
  </service>
</messenger>

Put the e-mails where CONTACT's E-MAIL is, and repeat the process and save it as .ctt


Its easier to add the contacts though :undecided:

Somebody might have an easier way, let's see if someone posts it.

Download Quick Contacts Adder script.

Then use the command:
/addcontact email@domain.com,email2@domain2.com

That will bring up multiple boxes to add contacts, which is easier than clicking add, over and over again.

However, typing too many in one command may make your computer crash or something, so you may have to limit it to a certain amount. I don't recommend doing it with all of them at once! :tongue:

Edit: I managed to add 100 contacts at once, took a minute to load all the boxes though :P After that you just click 'Save' 100 times :P Easiest way I know of!
