I have the same problem, and had partial success...
I've changed mine to a new @live.it address from the website and now I
cannot change it back, contacts are offline and half the sites are refusing
to log me in saying the service is unavailable or I do not have permissions.
When I tell my contacts to add my new live.it address, then I can see them.
but it's unfeasible for me to notify everyone.
How do I fix this problem?
