While this might be considered a rude response in person, it is a perfectly acceptable way for a contact to let you know they're unavailable for IM at the time. If you receive a terse response (for example, "in a meeting - talk later"), do not be offended.Avoid messaging someone repeatedly when you don’t get a response. Assume the contact will respond when free. The contact might be unable to do so, even if the contact’s presence status is Available.

Don’t take offense if your contact doesn't respond immediately.Begin with a question such as, "Got a moment to discuss the Contoso account?"
