Description Jaap Struyk 2005-03-05 08:03:42 UTC

Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10

msn plugin doesn't connect.
On a second try I get "Couldn't make connection to login.passport.com"
amsns and kmess work fine, so no firewall trouble, or ip-block by M$.

Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2005-03-05 20:03:51 UTC

Works fine for me, Kopete 0.10.

Please test that version.

Comment 2 Andrea Cerrito 2005-03-07 12:42:31 UTC

I can confirm this bug: kopete works fine with ICQ, but it complains about my password with MSN (my account is ok, I tried with other clients without problems).

Comment 3 Jaap Struyk 2005-03-07 12:51:15 UTC

Is there a 0.10 tarball? (wich builds against 3.3.2, CVS doesn't)

Comment 4 Thiago Macieira 2005-03-08 03:27:18 UTC

No. If CVS doesn't build against KDE 3.3.2, nor will the released Kopete 0.10.

Comment 5 Olivier Goffart 2005-03-16 09:44:18 UTC

If you have an adress like @hotmail.fr @hotmail.de or @hotmail.uk  it's fixed in 0.10

What's your version of kopete ?

Also, it might be the server being unavaliable temporarely.

Comment 6 Jaap Struyk 2005-03-16 17:10:23 UTC

I'am using version 0.9.2 but I don't have a hotmail adres, I use my normal email adres.
It has nothing to do with the server, it always worked in the past with the same version and kmess and amsn are working fine with my normal email adress.

Comment 7 Mark Murphy 2005-05-23 03:51:47 UTC

Is there any additional attention being paid to this issue?

Comment 8 Matt Rogers 2005-05-23 05:20:35 UTC

this is a duplicate of 105929. am reopening it to mark it as such. you should get Kopete from svn using the second set of instructions (the ones for the stable branch) at http://kopete.kde.org/index.php?page=cvs

the connection trouble occours when you did not disconnect from your account (like kill application). So, if you use gaim, by example, connect to your msn account and disconnect, when you connect using kopete, will works fine.

I've got the same problem with v 0.8.4 (old one, I know) but I've seen before on a MS faq that users with a dot in their msn account (exemple : teddy.smith@yahoo.fr - look a the dot - teddyDOTsmith) may experience troubles ...
to be shure I should test with another account
