Description maltero 2011-01-05 19:43:56 UTC

Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Connection to the MSN server was working well until december 2010 or close to.

The connection does not work since then. Maybe Microsoft changed their protocol or something. I am forced to used another tool to be able to connect to the MSN repository (Pidgin).

I get the message : Cannot connect with the instant messaging server or peers.

Can you check what could be the problem.

Regards,

Alain Lavoie

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just have a account set on MSN and try to connect via kopete.

Actual Results:  
No connections returned.

Expected Results:  
Connect to MSN and see all my contacts.

Could you try it with a newer Kopete release? I use Kopete 1.0.80 (KDE SC 4.6.0) and the WLM plugin works with no problem. Even when I used KDE SC 4.5.x it always worked for me.

Hi there, sorry for the bad news, but WLM has been discontinued by Microsoft, so this bug will be closed.
