I've logged into outlook.com with my old microsoft hotmail account. After this I received an email from the outlook.com team saying you could change your emailadres to @outlook.com and everything would go over to this account without problems, contacts, email, etc would all be going to the new account.
After doing this, my old @hotmail.com cannot be used to logon anymore, I have to use the outlook.com address.
Now when I do this in hotmail, everything seems te be fine.Even when I log into my Xbox, it shows the new account in the settings without even having to change anything. But when I do this on Messenger, the online list stays empty.
I see al the address offline in the list.
Other people do not see me coming online and I do not see them online. I've checked this also with my other account.
Will this take time, or is there a bug in the transfer from hotmail.com to outlook.com??

- I've tried adding the contacts through hotmail.com in my web browser, I can see the contacts in my 'contact list' in the browser but they still don't show up in my Live Messenger and not in the 'messenger' area of the browser when logged into hotmail.com.
- I've tried uninstalling Live Messenger and re-installing it, but that didn't work.
- I've also tried uninstalling the whole of Windows Live Essentials, and then re-installing Live messenger, but that hasn't helped either.
- I've tried adding the users to my favourites, but they don't appear there either.
- I've tried adding the users through hotmail.com and then deleting them there, but they still show up in my Live Messenger's 'Delete A Contact...' list and Live won't let me add them again as they already exist.
I have people / email addresses embedded in my list of contacts that I can see when I go to send email to, but not in my active contact list where I can edit them out, and delete these unwanted bogus contacts. In other words, I did not add them, but they are there anyway, and I can not delete them.
Please help.
Thank you
