I'm using MSN Messenger from multiple locations (office, home, laptop) with the same user account.

It is difficult for me to keep all settings, both for regular Messenger and those for Messenger Plus!, synchronized across all my PCs (e.g. the renamed contacts in the contact list).

Here is my suggestion:

Provide support for storing the settings on a central server. Let the user specify how to access the server (e.g. by FTP, HTTP or a similar popular protocol).

Since I have my own FTP server, I would just have to enter the FTP account data into a Messenger Plus! dialog box on all of my PCs and Messenger Plus! would be able to store all of its settings on that server only and fetch them whenever I login at a certain PC.

One step further would be to be able to store the FTP account data on a centeral "Messenger Plus!"-provided server where my MSN Messenger User account is associated with the FTP account data. This method would allow Messenger Plus! to fetch the FTP account data based on my MSN Messenger identity and then fetch the actual Messenger Plus! settings from the FTP server.

Of course a more simple way would be simply store all Messenger Plus! settings directly on a "Messenger Plus!"-provided server, but probably this would require too much storage space.

Thanks
