Hi all,

Just upgraded?? kopete to 4.2. There does not seem to be provision now

What a complete bummer etc etc etc . Kopete 0.70.4 has a bug which 
crashes it when trying to add a contact. Plenty on google but no cure


Is pidgin a viable alternative? I use gnome, so can't actually answer
that one...

Steve


pidgin will do the job nicely thanks. I found it a lot easier to set up 
as user than kopete

Re: Kopete 4.2 & msn

2009-08-24 Thread Christopher Sawtell
Strange - Which version of Kopete?

http://kopete.kde.org/>
Kopete is an instant messenger supporting AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo,
Jabber, IRC, Gadu-Gadu, Novell GroupWise Messenger, and more. It is
designed to be a flexible and extensible multi-protocol system
suitable for personal and enterprise use.


Thus it would appear to support msn.

Note that you have to have a so-called "passport" from you know who.

This is using kopete-0.70.4
and KDE Version 4.2.4
