Default Outlook 2007's interaction with MS Windows Messenger

Specs:

Windows XP Home Edition
Outlook 2007 vers 12.0.6423.1000 SP2 MSO 12.0.6425.1000
MS Windows Messenger vers 4.7.3001
ExchangeLabs email address (used by my University)

I'm trying to associate Windows Messenger with the ExchangeLabs email
address I use to sign in to outlook. This was working just fine a few days
ago but I don't know why it isn't working now. When I say it was working
just fine - the little green "available" dot was displaying next to my name
each time I opened up an email.

I HAVE gone to Tools Options Other tab checked the box labeled
"display online status next to a person's name"

Is there anything else I should be doing here?

that's all you need. Are you logged into messenger? What exactly isn't
working?

Like I said, "Windows Messenger" was working before (i.e. the little green
dot was displaying next to my name in Outlook). However, for some reason the
green dot stopped displaying when I was logged into Outlook and "Messenger"
at the same time. I honestly have no idea why, but I guess I must've changed
a setting or something.

Since my initial post I installed and logged into "Windows LIVE Messenger"
(different than "Windows Messenger") and now the green dot is back to
displaying next to my name when I'm logged into my ExchangeLabs email address
in Outlook. So basically Windows LIVE fixed the problem. I don't know what
happened in the config for Windows Messenger.
