O.P. RE: How many Idle statuses does WL Messenger have?
Yes, I made a mistake. But I didn't mean how many different idle statuses exist, if it was so their names wouldn't be same, would they? I wondered if there are two different status signals which are sent by different events. And now I have discovered why I thought that there are such two different Idle statuses. Because when I was using Windows Live Messenger's Beta version before it was officially released, I saw sometimes "contact name (Idle)" on my contact list, I think you had used that Beta version and you had seen such a status instead of Away for your contacts too. But as CookieRevised said and as I know, it was saying "Show me as "Away" to my contacts if I am inactive for -- minutes". So I was seeing sometimes Away and sometimes Idle on my contacts' names. As far as I know, not only an inactive delay but also screensaver and switching back to Start Screen of Windows trigger Idle status too. So I thought, if my contacts are inactive for a delay they set, my Messenger show them as Away (and I know this is a different status from normal Away one); and if my contacts' screensaver starts, my Messenger show them as Idle. So I supposed there are two different signals for two different hidden statuses. I am sorry for bringing such a simple discussion to the board also.

If you could understand my writings and my point here, please state it by PMing me. This will help me improve my English if it is really bad as you say.
