Separate accounts for work, friends?
I'm a telecommuter. I use Messenger to communicate with colleagues during
work hours, and to friends when I'm not working. I sign-in either with my work email or personal email. Regardless which ID I use to sign in, all my contacts--both work and personal--pop up when I sign in. Is there a way I can have separate accounts? I'd prefer to reduce the risk of sending personal messages to work colleagues, and I prefer to appear online only to colleagues when working, and only to friends when not working Any way to do this? |

Separate accounts for work, friends?
If I understood you correctly, you want to appear online to some contacts
and offline to others, right? I asked The Support Team the same question and they told me that now messenger don't have this feature but they will keep this in mind for next releases. I don't know to beleive it or not but I have nothing else to do except to wait the (one of the) next releases. -- Vitalie Ciobanu AISBERG http://aisberg.rau.ro "anon" wrote in message ...
