Version: 0.9.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux When trying to connect to a @hotmail.co.uk account I am told password is incorrect, I can log into hotmail webmail and with GAIM so password is correct, is it defaulting to a .com extension and just taking the section before @ ?
Several peole with @hotmail.de or @hotmail.co.uk have also reported me that problem.
My daughters created hotmail.co.uk addresses yesterday and today and cannot connect via kopete. My old hotmail.com address is still working fine. As a workaround, they are successfully using aMSN. So I suppose not a problem at the MSN end, but something in kopete? My kopete is 0.9.2 on KDE 3.3.2 from Suse
I am also unable to login to my MSN account with @hotmail.fr. I am log into hotmail and with fire on macOSX. In addition a can connect to MSN on kopete with an other acount with @hotmail.com. kopete 0.9.1 on Kde 3.3.1 on gentoo
I looked at the code and noticed that depending on the email domain, a different authentication server has to be used. A check for these new email domains (hotmail.*) needs to be added to the code. I hope to submit a patch to the maintainer today.

my MSN account is h@mandrake.org. I can't connect either. WHy does Kopete limit MSN account to username@hotmail.com. That is bad. I am using KDE 3.4.2-0.fc4.1 Red Hat and Kopete 0.10
