Doe anybody know if it is possible to see if a contact hasn't logged on the msn messenger network for a long time?

As i remember their names would be earaised after a couple of months is this correct?

So you would see their email adres instead.

No, their display name won't change unless they change it, no matter how long they've been offline for.

The only way to tell when they were last online would be to check Contact information under the Messenger Plus Live options, however this will only be accurate if you're online all the time.

It would only appear as their e-mail address if you were logging in on a computer where you hadn't seen them online.

Display names get downloaded and stored locally on computers when contacts sign in/change names.

So it isnt possible with a php script
Cause I know how to get the contact list with php
I dont need to know how long they havent been on just if they havent been on for like a year or so.

When I log in to ebuddy http://www.messenger-online.com/emessenger.php it knows my contact names that are offline.
