Non Messenging Contact Clean Up by moeyy on 03-04-2007 at 10:18 AM

Hi,

Is there a way where i can get rid of all those non-messenging contacts

http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=contactdxm9.jpg (edited for security)

Thats a screen shot of the sort of non messinging contacts that i want to clean up without goin thru and deleting them 1 by 1.

Is there a script etc?

MSG Plus doesnt work with those addresses.

For some reason my msn added them a while ago. I dunno why, they just did. It caused my contact list to jump too 800! and now i cannot add people coz my contact list is unoffically full.

Is there a good program that cleans up the addresses.

I dont mind if they get deleted in Windows Live Mail too, i dont use email anyway.

Thanks.

I would just manually delete them all, it's not a long process :).

afaik, wlm adds those contacts because they are in your address list in Windows Live Mail. also, I don't know of any program that can do this. probably try eliminating 'em from windows live mail.

You can make them not appear in your contactlist as follows:

Edit: As for real deleting...i've not found any other way then deleting them one by one..not even through Windows Live Mail. I've searched for a specific list that would show non messaging contacts only inthere but failed to find one :(

Edit2: You're welcome :D
