I'm getting ready to make a script to send out a message to every contact in my list that would warn them that I'm changing addresses, but before I started I did some research and found that there is a 15 message limit. So I was wondering if that limit would still apply to me since its only sending one message to each contact instead of it sending 15 messages to one contact? Also I wanted to make sure that if I send a message to an offline contact would they get it as an offline message?

Yes, the limit still applies.

I believe so.

One other point to remember, is that MSN has another limit of 8 switchboard sessions per minute. This basically means you can only send a message to at most 8 different people in a timeframe of one minute. There is nothing you can do about this limit either, as its enforced server-side.

If you are worried about not all contacts adding your new address, you can Export and Import contact lists.

To save your contact list:
Contacts>Save instant messaging contacts...

And save to the desired location

To import once signed into the new address:
Contacts>Import instant messaging contacts...

And choose the file that you saved earlier.
