| 275 | 275 | === Why do I keep getting a "Buddy List Synchronization" error? === |
| 276 | | Sometimes, for a particular buddy, you may keep getting a "Buddy List Synchronization" error every time you sign in, even if you accept adding the buddy. This is because the buddy is on your address book, and not marked for use with messenger. Pidgin does not currently handle this case. |
| 277 | | |
| 278 | | In order to fix this, you need to login to your account via Hotmail or similar (not the web messenger), go to your address book, edit the contact that matches, and check the box for "Use this address with Windows Live Messenger". |
| | 276 | Sometimes, for a particular buddy, you may keep getting a "Buddy List Synchronization" error every time you sign in, even if you accept adding the buddy. There are two possible reasons for this problem. |
| | 277 | |
| | 278 | The first possibility is because the buddy is on your address book, and not marked for use with messenger. Pidgin does not currently handle this case. The second possibility is that there are multiple copies of that buddy in your address book in different groups than Pidgin expects. |

| | 280 | In order to fix this, you need to login to your account via Hotmail and edit your address book. If you use some sort of network-provided account that is affiliated with MSN, you should still be able to login for this purpose (even if you don't have an inbox). |
| | 281 | |
| | 282 | For the first case, from the address book, edit the contact that matches, and check the box for "Use this address with Windows Live Messenger". For the second case, look for multiple copies of the buddy and remove all but the one in the group Pidgin expects. These buddies will most probably have the Quickname set to <userid part of email address>+<incrementing number>. |
