Is there a way to see if someone has MSN without adding them to your list? If so, how?

I believe not...I would suggest asking them, or ask anyone that may know them:p

Is there a way to type in the email address and then it shows you if they have a profile online or something like that?

Someone should be able to make something like that, it can't be too hard.

You could try to send them a message using

Actions > Send An Instant Message

although they have to have to "only people in the allow list can see me" unticked.

But how can you get to the actions without adding them?

I think there should be some way to establish who added who, because im fed up of people adding me then being told I added them :\
