merging two msn accounts into one? by redscheme on 03-27-2007 at 09:25 PM

is it possible to merge two WLM/MSN accounts into one? so i have all my contacts under one account? i hope so T_T

I don't think so, but, you can export all the contacts from one account (Contacts > Save instant messaging contacts) and then import them into your other account. (Contacts > Import instant messaging contacts)

hope this helps =)

Why can't you export the contacts? Do you get any errors?

You should just be able to save them anywhere.(eg. your desktop) =s

no errors at all. it doesn't prompt the browse dialog for me to save the contact list to a specific location (ex: teh desktop :D)

i click on it, the cursor turns into an hourglass (waiting) then nothing happens. thanks for helping me out ^_^

edited: i tried reinstalling again. nothing happens :~( same problem. i may try to install a older version and see if it will allow me to export.

Interesting...

Have you tried with a totally clean Messenger (no patches, no Plus!, no skins, etc....) ?
