Issue with beta version 8.5 and version 8.1.

When i use folder redirection on windows vista and point my contacts folder
to another location, messenger always saves to %userprofile%\contacts
this breaks the folder redirection model and causes my profile to have 2
Contacts folders appearing in my profile.

Greetings,

I remember this one being reported in the 8.1 beta. Unfortunately, it was punted I believe
to be fixed later, so it -may- be addressed in future 8.5 versions.

Hi Jonathan,

thanks for the reply, im using 8.5 now an still have the same issue,
guessing it coming in a later build.

would be good to have a reponse from the live messenger beta team on this
one. i have tried to find where i can report a bug in the 8.5 beta but get
redirected to messenger help.

Hello,

I came to this newsgroup for this very same problem!
Is this still not solved in the latest 8.5 beta? I'm still running 8.1, but
if there's a beta out, I would install it to get rid of this bug.

All help appreciated,
Greetings,
Perry
