[Suggestion] 2 e-mail contacts combined in one by Keon on 12-12-2007 at 12:16 AM

Hello

I have no idea if this has already been suggested or not, so sorry if I'm just reposting.

Will Plus! ever make it possible to combine two e-mails from the same person on just one contact, upon selection, in a way that we see only one buddy on our list even if he has two e-mails?

This feature is already present on Pidgin. It's explained here:

Thanks,
Keon

Messenger Plus! won't be able to do this, the only chance for this to happen is when Microsoft decides to include this feature.

And in my opinion this wouldn't be a very useful feature either, as WLM isn't a multi-protocol Instant messenger and people usually don't have multiple emails they use on WLM.

For now all you can do is to create a group and move those contacts into it.

I don't know about you, but about 40% of my contacts do have more than one e-mail which they use regularly.

And WLM may be (to some extent) considered multi-protocol because even though it only allows you to login with a .net passport, it allows you to speak with people with yahoo messenger which may also have a passport simultaneously.

Oh well, thanks anyway.
