New contacts at Windows Live Messenger shown only as offline



hello

sind a view weeks I can see new contacts at Windows Live Messenger 8.1 only
as offline
Also I can send them only email, but not a message

I have an old Messenger account with exactly same setting, and it workd well

What can be the problem?
