MSN Messenger Users, want OFFLINE messaging?
 

It is one of the new features in the next version named "Windows Live Messenger" coming in early 2006.

If you can't wait until then, try the leaked beta here :upsidedow

i dont get it ?
how can you message someone OFFLINE ?

.....yeah, please elaborate!

They'll receive it once they come online?

Matt

I think they will get the message when they come online next. Just like icq.

YARGH! I be guessin' you send messages while online to someone offline, when they go online they get it. Like ICQ does.

YARGH! That was whacky. We were all writin' the same shit, at the same time.

Message is stored on the server until the user comes online, and is then sent to the user.

i would like to be in "appear offline" mode yet still be able to message people and talk, is that possible?

cheers, Matt

I thought it was self explanatory but :thumbsup yes you are all correct and have each won the prize... A chance to download a copy :winkwink:

That would be good, invisible mode. :)

this is what I have been waiting for as well...

apparently so but it doesn't seem to be active yet...

"Your status is set to appear offline. You can communicate with your contacts but they will know you are appearing offline"

"...You can only send text or emoticons to offline contacts. Winks (An animated greeting that you can send to your contacts.) , nudges (A visual and audible signal that attracts the attention of other people in your conversation.) , voice clips or other activities cannot be sent. However, if a contact's status is set to Appear Offline, then this contact will be able to send you the alternative greetings mentioned above. "

already :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Icq :thumbsup

You can set that in YM's preference too. :thumbsup

That's nice for doing business. Good improvement.

Sure ICQ is doing this for years :thumbsup

Took them a while to actually catch up to ICQ eh? Well it'll be a nice added feature. That's the one huge plus that ICQ has, ICQ is the best all around way to go for business, in my preference atleast.

As far as invisible or offline messaging goes, MSN is a late bloomer...

Yahoo & ICQ own the offline messaging area and the invisible messaging... it would be nice if MSN would catch up

I will try that new Windows Messenger for my business.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

thats a cool feature!

Finally!! this is a great feature to have.

took them only 8 years

Once they finally integrate msg'ing offline people i can uninstall icq and no longer have to put up with the stupid spam bots...

yes microsoft is the best



















NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :winkwink:

how long before that is hacked/exploited like the rest of Microshit?

Finally they have it! :thumbsup

good chance for spammers
