  The server doesn't store the contact list of your client. The contact
  list is kept in the client itself.

  No, that's a drawback of the presence model used by MS Messenger. Your
  messenger sends SUBSCRIBE to presentities on your contact list to
  learn the current state of the presentity. When a presentity is
  offline then the request fails and your client retries later.

  During that period you see the contact offline although he might have
  become online meanwhile. You see the contact online when your client
  sends another SUBSCRIBE.

  That's because the contact list is stored in the client.
