Skype will not let me unblock or message a contact
Hi
Amatoxin,
If you a message that says “this contact hasn’t shared details with you” then that contact have not yet accepted your contact request. Possible that the privacy settings of that specific contact is allowing
IMs only for contact list and not for anyone. You can advise your friend to accept your contact request or you can send another contact request after you unblock your friend on Skype.
If you wish to unblock a contact:
In the main menu, select
Tools > the Skype Options box, select
Privacy > Blocked Contacts. A list of blocked contacts is the contact you’d like to unblock and click
Unblock this person.
After you unblock the contact, sign out and sign back in on Skype.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks.

Hello there,
I have followed all steps of unblocking the contact, but it won’t be displayed in the friends list no matter that the chat is pinned and the contact was added in my favourite contacts.
Also, I don’t receive any notification when messages are exchanged unless I search in the contacts list by name!
This is really crazy.
I use Mac OSX Sierra, Skype version is
Skype version 8. 18. 0. 6Thanks!
