Can’t delete old statuses (personal messages)

Since the disastrous changes came with the Windows 8 unification I can't delete old statuses (personal messages) in the social network stream of the Windows Live Messenger. 
When I switch to the full size view to see the social network media and go to "me", I can see all my old personal messages I posted the last three months but I can't delete them. The cog shows me just a link with (useless) "more options". Since the whole Live Profile pages are scrubbed there's no way to find elementary settings like these on the new Microsoft account pages as well. I hope this will be fixed soon or you have a helpful advice to solve this issue. 

note: Terms may be incorrect, I use the German country setting.

Stuck in mail download mode

Windows Live Mail recently started handing up in the mail download cycle, I.e. the download status box displays it is receiving a continuous stream of emails that do not exist. The download count keeps growing until I stop it. Any ideas what's wrong?
