Default Sharing contacts using Outlook Connector

I have Outlook Connector and also use Windows Live Mail in addition to an
email account with another service. Is there anyway to sync my Windows Live
contacts with my Outlook contacts? I see where there is a new contacts folder
for my Windows Live contacts but it doesn't appear that I can merge or sync
them.

Thanks.

I should have specified that I'm using Outlook 2007, but I use the Windows
Live Mail desktop software for all my email.

The Contacts folder you see in Outlook under the Live folders should match
exactly the contacts on the Windows Live server. Adding a contact in one
place should automatically add it to the other (since they're really the same
folder). I don't use my Live account with Windows Live Mail, so I don't know
it it exposes the Live contacts. I think I'll check when I get home.

First, I don't know of simple way of syncing LIVE Outlook AnotherMail.
That being said, what I do for my situation (I also have multiple email
accounts, LIVE and others) is to use my LIVE account as my default data file.
I then move all my contacts into my Outllook LIVE contacts folder. That way
Outlook connector will sync my outlook contacts with my LIVE account.

If I have my Outlook Live contacts book to be the default address book, then
when I address a mail message it will find the addresses out of the Outlook
live account.

I use Outlook Connector to check my hotmail from my home PC using Outlook. I
do NOT want Outlook Connector to upload and synch my Contacts to hotmail. Is
there any way to disable this feature?

Use the Hotmail POP interface instead, then. Nothing will be synched, but
you'll be able to read your Hotmail in Outlook.
