AnswerQuestion about blocking contacts (WebMessenger Bar and Live Messenger)

    Hello,
    I have one question about blocking contacts.

    Is it true that if I block a contact in WebMessenger Bar, this contact should be also blocked in the Live Messenger?

    I did some test and it doesn't work like this. I don't know it is a bug or normal behaviour. During test I was sign-in into the same account in WebMessenger Bar and Live Messenger.


    Best regards,

    If you bock a contact in the Messenger Bar, it will update the database and the next time you log in to the Desktop Messenger, the contact should be blocked. This should happen the other way round as well.

    You need to log out from the web bar to make it pick up the changes that happened in the other endpoint of the same user.

    Thanks,
