Hi,

I need to remove contacts of gmail from outlook.com people. I have posted this problem in this thread

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-people/i-need-remove-google-contacts-urgent/1a49dda4-ae2a-474a-b15c-17ba84ab0364?page=4

and I was asked by Forum moderators Alden D. and John Paul M. to create a new thread so that a moderator can properly address to me. Now I am waiting for a moderator to address to me.

The problem I am facing is I am unable to remove gmail contacts from outlook.com account. Many people seems to have the same problem

Br,

Mikko

    Hi

    I don't know about you, but that marvellous update either isn't available or doesn't work for me. I've been trying for months to get rid of the disconnected services and trying to re-sync them (they were not syncing correctly) and I'm still waiting. No real support from Microsoft. They keep asking useless questions that I have answered a million times and getting useless advice that doesn't even gor further than disconnecting a service that isn't connected.

    Hope you had better luck.

    Reading on the thread I found your helpful post on how to remove the contacts from the people page... I'm going to try to sync again, since I do want to sync my google contacts, to see I can do it now that the list is empty. It seems the update is still on its way (to Cairo). But at least you've helped me get rid of the contacts, and you got sort of someone to really help you, not like me. Microsoft has never been so frustrating for me, I'm thinking of going back to Gmail... and I do hate that.

    Still waiting for the outlook.com server upgrade... hopefully we're getting the update soon.  Problems like this is one of the reasons I'm thinking of switching over to Google's services.

    This must be a joke. Does Microsoft really expect people to go through this crap to remove a contact? First of all, I don't have Internet Explorer on my iMac, and I don't have a Windows PC anymore. And why do I need to downgrade the browser to IE6, which is an ancient browser from 15 years ago? This is nuts.
