Multiple Live Accounts to Access 1000+ Contacts?

ryangruhn · #1 (**permalink**) 09-01-2009, 10:19 AM

I have a business Live account and personal Live account, both hotmail. Until now I've synced all my contacts with my personal email and just had my phone use my personal Windows Live account. However, I've reached the 1000 contact limit of a hotmail account and I need much more space.

The perfect solution to this would be if I were able to sync two hotmail accounts with my Touch Pro. Not only email (which I know how to do) but also contacts.

Is this possible?

I use Outlook for approx. 1500 contacts. My brother uses it for significantly more. It's not free, but it would let you pass the 1000 limit. But I don't know if you could automatically separate them in to business & personal. Certainly you could go through them individually and in Outlook (not Outlook Express) and put them in different categories. If you can put them in different categories on Hotmail and then sync it up with Outlook, then maybe it could be automatically separated (or grouped - whatever you want to call it). But I do not know about syncing with hotmail contacts.

Again, not free, but it would take care of your problem.

Hope that helps.

I really don't mean to threadjack so PM if you'd rather, but how do you sync multiple live email accounts to your phone? I've tried using the Windows Live app for WM, but to sync the second account I have to sign out of the first. Do you know how to keep both synced automatically without having to sign in/out of each account?

Thanks!!!

Doing so however, does not sync the contacts.
