Offline Messaging by Mylo on 03-20-2005 at 04:47 AM

RE: Offline Messaging by J.J on 03-20-2005 at 05:46 AM

Unfortunately no...

However there is Stuffplug NG where you can talk to you contacts while you've blocked them

I was making my new Offline Messenger 2 for MSN until they decided to implement it into MSN 7... If you guys feel strongly about wanting it back (despite it going to be incorporated into the new client), drop by http://www.offlinemessenger.com/ and leave me a comment. If I get a significant request for it, I'll bring it back!

Aren't the offline messages in the new MSN Messenger client (7.0) only for mobile users?

RE: Offline Messaging by mwe99 on 03-20-2005 at 12:57 PM

I also thought that offline messaging was going to be incorporated in the new 7 version offical release?

Your mobile contacts on the other hand, can send you messages even when you are not signed in to MSN Messenger. These are referred to as "Offline Messages". The first time you receive an offline message, you can choose how you want to view these messages in the future. However, you can change this option at any time under Tools > Options > Messages.

This is not exactly the kind of Offline Messaging we hoped for, because only mobile contacts can send offline messages. Your virtual answering machine is not accepting messages from regular MSN Messenger contacts, like in ICQ for instance. I guess MSN was obligated to add this feature because otherwise if mobile contacts would send you an IM while you were offline, the message would go lost and they'd still have to pay for it. And if you send a message to a mobile device that is offline, it'll be safely delivered the next time that device is online.

Look at Madmans post...

Offline messaging in msn 7.0 is for mobile users

It would be great if you continued to make that, it would be very popular

RE: Offline Messaging by psyko on 03-23-2005 at 02:17 PM

Sorry but youll have to post some screens and a video to prove this is true (and accually good) for me to belive it....

Both people dont have to have it? How is a person gonna send a message to the "server" and then it going to be routed back to the destination. Plus, the load would be huge.

This is the future if Plus!'s custom sounds thing goes down, they can use that server to start a offline message server and Plus! users can send offlines to each other.

RE: Offline Messaging by psyko on 03-24-2005 at 05:37 PM

Hahaha, you're not funny! I've already did this once before with version 1.. It had 11,000 users and I hosted the website, forum, and everything from my home server! Talk about a heavy load, that is the best joke I've heard ever!
Secondly, you don't need to know how it gets sent to the user other than that my service is a bot and if the target user doesn't have OM, they are automatically sent an add request to add the bot to their contact list.

RE: Offline Messaging by noroom on 03-24-2005 at 10:07 PM

That's right... Plus, it's only text, so the load isn't going to be HUGE. And if it does get laggy, do 5 seconds really bother you that much?

RE: Offline Messaging by Dane on 03-24-2005 at 10:48 PM

I was working on a similar plugin for Plus! for offline messaging and then everyone decided it wouldnt be useful enough because the only way you can do this really is to program it like an email.

RE: Offline Messaging by noroom on 03-25-2005 at 03:30 AM

Well Dane, we're doing this because we found a considerable amount of Messenger users that were interested in this. Not to mention the huge acceptation the previous version got!

RE: Offline Messaging by albert on 03-25-2005 at 03:32 AM

Use MsgPlus! When some1's offline, send him a Come Back msg, this will do the same as Yahoo..

But both the users must be online for that message to be sent..

With Offline Messenger for MSN you will be able to make a message when your contact is offline, then when you go offline and your contact comes online it will be sent to them

RE: Offline Messaging by jren207 on 04-10-2005 at 11:02 PM

Um yea I do need to know because how do I know personal information of mine isnt being sent out randomly to you? Again this looks very shady and now its even more shady (and accually worries) with that type of response. I personally wouldnt trust this...

RE: Offline Messaging by Chestah on 04-12-2005 at 05:56 AM

http://offlinemessenger.com/privacy.php - Read it. The only thing that even touches your messages is the spam filter (which will be silently updated into the code), will skim through and check for repeats and swearing.
Anyways, quick chart if you want specifics:

User->OM message->OM->stored in encrypted folder for target user
Offline user signs in->OM sends add request (if not added)
->If added, send message from encrypted folder and delete.
