I've just started using Skype and I now have a few questions about it. First of all, when phone numbers that are in my Address Book and Skype Contacts list call me, they're not identified by their name - only by their number. So, instead of seeing, say, "Home" when someone from my house is calling me, it just says +1xxxxxxxxxx. Obviously I don't know all of my contacts' phone numbers so this could get really confusing! I have Skype showing contacts in my Address Book, so is there any way for the incoming call notification to display a contact's name along with the number?

Second, I selected my own song clip that I edited in Garageband as my ringtone. It's an .mp3 file, but whenever I get an incoming call, it's just silent. This is strange since Skype could preview the clip just fine when I added it.

Third, it won't let me record a voicemail message. It'll do fine during the actual recording, but when I try to play back what I just recorded, it plays for about a second and then stops.

If anyone could help me out with this it'd be greatly appreciated! :)

edit: Ok, now I have another question! Although I close the main Skype window, it keeps reappearing and bringing itself in front of my other active applications. Very annoying! :(
