Improve Share on the Live Toolbar
The Share button on the Live Toolbar allows the user to share a webpage with the entire public. It posts updates to every contact in the persons network. Sometimes a shared page is only pertinent to a small set of contacts. For example, a technical article (more...)
Add one more field to the form that displays when you click the Share button. This field will default to everyone or public or just "Shared Favorites", but it will be a dropdown menu that also lists each of the other user defined Shared Favorite (more...)

Live Contacts that use a Yahoo Messenger ID are not showing as online and cannot be contacted via web Messenger
Live Contacts that use a Yahoo Messenger ID are not showing as online and cannot be contacted via web Messenger. This seems to be affecting those who's Live ID is different that their IM address in their contact info.
This is possibly a bug, and it would require you fix it if so.

Add SMS (text) messaging to web Messenger
The web based Messenger in Mail and People does not allow you to send SMS messages (text messages) to phones that people have set up expressly for this purpose. Since web Messenger only works in mail and People it seems like it would be a good place to (more...)
Add a menu item allowing messages to be sent via SMS to offline contacts.

Allow the order of the filter rules to be changed
The "Automatically sort e-mail into folders" of the web based Live Mail does not allow for the order to change. After submitting several help tickets with Microsoft, and each time getting a "we are aware of this... but it won't be (more...)
Add a mechanism to change the order of these. It could be a index number field or arrows to move up or one down or whatever. Just make it possible. So far as I know, this is not maintainable on the desktop client version.It's been like this FOR YEARS! (more...)

Don't limit the size of groups to 20 people based on Messenger
Instead of listing every member of a group in Messenger and limiting the group size to 20 or less (if it is going to use Messenger to allow group chat) why not list only those actually online and not limit the overall group size to a absolute maximum (more...)
List only the first 20 members of a group that are actually online, and allow them to group chat. Do not show the 21st and later online person or show them with a special icon indicating they are not available, and do not let them in the chat. Show them (more...)

Please add "Invert Selection" as a menu item in WL Photo Gallery
You cannot invert your selection in WL Photo Gallery. Any application that offers "Select All" should also offer "Invert Selection."
Adding a menu item to invert your selection will make you life easier. For example, if you select your first set of photos by clicking on a tag, then you select all, then click on another tag. This presents all the photos from the second tag, but only (more...)

Add an option to change the size of the user tile based on online/offline status.
Currently the user tile size is selectable in options for favorites and other contacts. Keeping those two layout, but add the option of selecting an online size and an offline size would make it possible to make the offline contacts have a smaller tile (more...)

Add a contact view of Group by Online/Offline Status
You used to be able to group your contacts by online/offline status.
Add the view for grouping by online/offline status. If the Discussion Groups had their own tab then the contact panel could be viewed by categories or by contact status. This makes it tremendously easier to find your contacts when you have a lot of them (more...)

Add SharedView back to Messenger
The SharedView activity is no longer available in messenger.
This has been an oversight in past versions of Messenger and was added back when it was discovered missing. I guess no one has noticed so I will bring it up. Please add it back as an activity as SharedView is a great tool that is not given enough attention.

Bring back Shared Folders
I know you took them out for a reason or whatever. And I know that there is Live Sync. But it took me forever to get my dad to use Shared Folders, and I don't look forward to teaching him something new.
Please integrate Live Sync with Messenger in a way that is similar to how Shared Folders used to work. I believe this has been done with WLPG to sync photos?? I know that we are limited to 20 Synced Folders which won't be enough for most people's (more...)

Add two new panels to Messenger for Groups and for Categories.
The one panel view is way too cluttered.
I am in nine groups and counting. Only two of those ever go online and the rest are web only. Either remove the web only groups or better, add a separate groups panel. The tab could be labeled "Groups" and perhaps followed by a number in parenthesis (more...)

Turn Messenger Group icons green when someone in the group is online when the group is blocked.
Messenger group icons/tiles for blocked groups do not change color. Turn Messenger Group icons/tiles green when someone in the group is online even when the group is blocked. This would be consistent with how Messenger handles contact tiles for individuals (more...)
Turn the group's Messenger icon green if someone in the group is online regardless of whether the group has been blocked or not. It currently shows a slash if blocked, but does not go green making it hard to tell if anyone in the group is online (more...)
