old contacts (not used) by thing on 07-02-2006 at 09:25 AM

hello! i got many old contacts of people i think they have stoped using msn messenger, they no longer log-in with that email. is there a way to see if this is true or not?

for example:

i got many contacts in my list that instead of seeing their nicknames i see their emails, does this mean anything?

if i send a email to a contact and then i get a auto reply with:
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients failed.

that happens with almost all contacts that i see their email in my contact list instead of their nicknames, so i think that means that email no longer exists and i should just remove it

what do you think? is there a way to know this?

thanks!!!

If their account isn't good anymore, you shouldn't be in their contact list. So use Contact List Clean-up and check who don't have you in their contact list anymore, their account should be expired or deleted.

It COULD mean that their email address is no longer activated... Or it COULD  mean that the server is acting a little dodgy and it's not working right at that very moment...

Also note that not all MSN emails are actually real email addresses or email addresses being used for mailing.
