Hi Winston,
So what you are saying is that if I decrypt my Live contacts, then Windows
Contact will see them and they will also be indexed and searchable. If they
are encrypted then they won't? Any particular reason why I shouldn’t encrypt
my Live contacts? (i.e. security reasons). At least now I know it’s not just
my system.
As a bit of feedback, I do think that Windows Live Mail contacts should
integrate with Windows Contacts as it makes the default contacts app and the
ability to search for contacts within Vista redundant. Or Windows Live Mail
contacts should be indexed and searchable by default.
Just my two pence worth.
Kind regards,
Chris
