It's called Messenger Invite <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://messenger.live.de/community/neuekontakte_adressimport.html">messenger.live.de/.../neuekontakte_adressimport.html</a> &nbsp;and supports GMX, WEB.de, GoogleMail, Yahoo!Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, IncrediMail and Windows Live Mail. Contacts can be easily added to the buddy list.
