I created a new live account two days ago.  I am able to log in and receive invitations from other users, which I accept.  They appear online, but I am unable to message them; once I've signed out and back in they appear offline.  Contacts do not appear online; I have not converted this account to outlook.com.  

This is on a rebuilt machine with a fresh install of Messenger.  This issue seems to persist through different operating systems and chat clients (ie. pidgin, android, mobile messenger app).

Thoughts?
