Ever since the launch of Skype (and Facebook) webchat integration into Outlook.com I am experiencing an issue where using the Skype messaging pane from the various tab views (Mail, People, Calendar, SkyDrive) while logged into outlook.com is only possible from the Skydrive tab.
In addition another issue occurs where connected facebook chat histories are only displayed in Calendar and SkyDrive view but NOT in Mail and People view.
Apparently switching my language settings in the according areas (Mail, People,Calender & Skydrive) from English (US) to English (UK) seems to be a workaround and skype integration then seems to work fine (the issue with the facebook chat history display remains though).
Please refer to the below private message thread for detailed information and previous analysis information (provided fiddler trace & screenshots):

Hi!
I found that I can't connect to Skype from Outlook.com but connect easily from SkyDrive.com.
In Outlook.com on the right pane I can see the following:
while in SkyDrive.com on the right pane I can see the following:
and I can chat in Skype from SkyDrive.com with no problem (but not from Outlook.com).
Further more - if I switch the language of Outlook.com to English (UK) then I immediately can connect to Skype (the icon appears on the right). Switching back to another language (Russian in my case) makes Skype unavailable again.
I use Internet Explorer 10/11, all cache dumped. Skype is linked to my Microsoft Account from the standalone desktop application.
P.S. Please, skip "optimize your browser", "Which browsers are supported by SkyDrive, People and Outlook.com" and "try another browser" step - these are not the cause of the issue at all.
So live.com became outlook.com? I hardly use live.com, but I am having a problem changing my Skype password and I just wanted to see if my Skype account and my Live account were linked. I want to unlink them.
Thanks!

Skype only pull about 60% of people in my contacts of Outlook.
I have tried everything that I was able to find in Google but it still the same, even tried uninstalling Skype from my windows phone, my computer win 8.1, then reinstalling but same thing, only the same 60% appears in Skype.
If I want to invite someone in my contacts I have to call them with my cell and ask them to invite me instead of I inviting them.
I see that I am not the only one having this problem.
Help!!!!!
I have synced by Skype account with outlook.com recently.
But my problem is, some the Skype users are showing offline even though they are in online.
And one more problem is, am unable to see the Skype users from the outlook or people. I can able to see them when I jump to SkyDrive only.
There is no skype box in add to chats.
Why is this no longer functioning?
