It's indeed a well known Messenger bug, which is should be fixed in the next build. I've found deleting my contact folder under:

C:\Documents and Settings\<iuser>\Contacts\<e-mail>

Fixes the problem for me :).



Hey. I have same problem for few months now. I tried your solution but the problem is that the folder for the account which is having problem doesn't exist. I use about three different accounts and folders for other accounts are there and these accounts don't have any problems updating the contact list names. But the account which has outdated offline contact list names doesn't have a folder there. I think that is the problem but I don't know how to solve the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Ok. I found the solution (I think). As explained above, I didn't have the folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Contacts\<e-mail> for the account I was having problems. So in that account I unchecked the option "This is a shared computer so don't store my address book, display picture, or personal messages on it" under Security Tab. I am not entirely sure if that did the trick but I haven't changed anything else. So, try this if nothing works for you.
