    I have it set to 'Appear off-line' to contacts. However if I get a email and I click on the email tab to load my email up in IE it automatically changes the status to 'Available', which is a pain in the backside.

    I have tried reinstalling it but the same problem persists. Anyone got any ideas?

    This could be because hotmail now has its own inbuilt messenger feature, so when you log onto your emails you also sign into messenger. If you are using hotmail, then just sign out of messenger in your email browser. This should always keep you signed out on emails.

    Hope this helps / makes sense!
