Outlook.com does not allow you to reply to Skype IMs from Invisible Contacts

Hello,

 

When an invisible Skype contact instant messages me, I receive the message in Outlook.com, and on Skype for PC.  However I cannot reply to that IM from Outlook.com, as it says the Contact is offline.

 

In Skype for PC I can reply to an IM from an Invisible contact so it would be great if Skype functionality was the same in Outlook.com.

 

Thanks!

I only have one email address and after three times Skype accepted it. I only have one password and when I was on Skype the other day my password was accepted. Now it keeps telling me my password is incorrect!!!! I have only had my laptop for two months and have only used Skype that one time. Now I can't sign in with the password I signed up with and I am getting a bit disgusted, not to mention angry. I am not a computer whiz, but I am not an idiot either. I have no one to help so everything I do is trial and error. I am 68 years old and this is my third computer but my first laptop and first Skype. If you have an answer please make it in "plain English"!! I have paid for two years of Geek Squad and found they aren't much help.

I have a windows phone 8 and a surface pro 2.  I have yet to figure out how to get my email.outlook.com contacts imported into Skype.  I have yet to figure out how to actually use Skype on my windows phone 8 using my Outlook.com contacts list.  Ironically there is an import contact feature for applications I have never heard of including Facebook but no Oulook.com.  I  have yet to see any integration between my windows phone 8 and Surface pro.  Skype is not very intuitive.. It appears there is a version of Skype pre loaded on my Surface pro 2 that is less functional than the Skype for Desktop.  Where can I learn about the differences?  Why is this so difficult?  If I log in with my primary email.outlook.com on all my devices shouldn't I see the same thing regarding features and options? I also cannot reach anyone regarding tech support... I despise searching through hundreds of logged comments on other problems and search is not feasible.  HELP

WP8 Missing contacts from outlook.com

I have my outlook.com account grabbing contacts from gmail, linkedin, facebook, Skype, and messenger. I can see all the contacts in the outlook.com people section. Non filtered list there.


But when I am syncing my phone, it doesn't pick up the grabbed accounts from those other services. It just gets the ones that are originally from outlook.com/Hotmail.com.


I am using a Lumia 920. How can I use Outlook as my sole source for contacts & calendar?

Outlook.com early adopters not receiving extra SkyDrive space and free Skype group video

29. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hi,

I already posted this question on a thread but I was told that I had to create a new thread. Here is my problem :

Early adopter are supposed to receive an email to give them a couple of gifts as a celebration of Outlook.com anniversary. The gifts are 3 GB of extra space on SkyDrive and a free month of Skype group video calling. Full description here: http://www.neowin.net/news/outlookcom-early-adopters-get-extra-skydrive-space-and-free-skype-group-video

 I have been using Hotmail and Outlook for around 14-15 years and I was one of the first to change to Outlook.com. I thoughtI I was going to receive the gifts but I didn't. Some people say the bugs comes from the fact that I already have the extra 25 GB in SkyDrive.

So what's wrong about receiving 3Gb more and some Skype coupons? Why excluding those who have more than 7Gb?

Thank you for your help!

How do I disable Skype when using outlook?

When I'm going through emails, I don't want Skype contacts to ring me.
How do I disable it while using outlook?
Can I disable Skype on one of my computers completely?
I only use Skype on my laptop, never on my desktop.

It's annoying when your Skype contacts ring you while you have Outlook open.
Sometimes I have a customer on the phone addressing issues in their email, or I contact someone from their contact info in an email.
It's distracting to receive a Skype call while you're on the phone with someone else.

I need to disable it.
I have gone to the settings in Outlook, People, Skydrive. There is no way to disable it.

Can someone help me with this issue?

Thanks!

Can’t delete contacts from outlook even after deleting them from Skype

28. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
The contacts I want to delete have been blocked and removed from Skype but Outlook won't let me delete them even then

This message comes up when I try:

Can't delete completely

Some of this contact's info comes from another service. You'll need to delete the contact there to keep it from showing up here.


There is nothing else wrong with Skype or Outlook.

How do I fix this?
