Hi,

Kopete does not connect at all to Yahoo! Messenger in Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.3.4.

I've tried everything I found at Google (most related pages are from the middle of this year), but nothing works.

Kopete connects fine to the MSN Messenger protocol, though.

While PIdgin does connect to both, MSN and Yahoo! (tested under Windows XP SP3).

Rgds,
Victor

Another user says:
I was having trouble with this. I decided to update my password (via Yahoo.com) and was able to get access. I had to use the short form of my login name (no @yahoo.com) but it finally let me in.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Does it work if you use only the first part of your username, no @ymail.com or similar?

Hello from the KDE Bugsquad!

Unfortunately, Yahoo has discontinued the Yahoo Messenger service, and the code has been removed from Kopete.

Thus, I am closing this bug as "UNMAINTAINED" since it will no longer be fixable, or able to operate due to Yahoo.
