Hello,
I test the "Import from Hotmail", but I do not get MSN friends list except contacts.
Why? Maybe it possible?

Maybe it's possible. We're looking into it.

I encounter the same problem. I think maybe due to the charset? I can import all use www.improsys.com contacts importer.

Hi, all. I am working on hotmail import for the upcoming release. I was unclear as to what you meant by the MSN friends list.

Does this refer to your buddies in MSN messenger? Are you using the beta live version of MSN? Or are you referring to the list of friends' friends through MSN spaces? MSN friends list for MSN spaces has not been released everywhere yet, so that's probably why I haven't seen it.

If you provide some more clarification, that would be great. Thanks!

MSN Messenger Version: 7.5
Hotmail Contact list: 220
Contacts gotten by Plaxo: 80
Problem: Something is missing. If you implement hotmail contact list by https then I think there is no way to get the MSN nicknames, it will be just display names.

There is a way to get nicknames. Would it make sense to put them in the Plaxo contact "Nickname" field? Or do you think they belong in the fullname field?
