    Sign into Messenger Live using the email account you want to copy the contacts from. At the top select Contacts and at the bottom select "Save instant messaging contacts..." Save the .ctt file somewhere on your computer. Go ahead and create the new account, sign into it using Messenger, select Contacts and at the bottom "Import instant messaging contacts..."

    OR

    You can sign into hotmail (email) itself, on the left task pane select Contact list, then put in the check to the top to select all the contacts and then choose Manage. Export the contacts by saving them somewhere on your computer and then import them under your new account.

    :) Yep.

    I did this not too long ago, I just notified all my contacts via an email on what I was doing.
