Description CJ 2005-01-04 18:06:28 UTC

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.

Comment 2 Steve King 2005-01-16 23:26:18 UTC

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

Comment 4 abdulhaq 2005-01-18 15:37:23 UTC

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
