Version: 0.70.0 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), 4.2.0-15.fc9 Fedora) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.i686 After upgrading to KDE 4.2, Kopete is having trouble connecting to MSN/WLM. It gives no error messages (in GUI nor on the terminal), but it tends to display "Connecting" as WLM status forever. The severity of the problem varies from account to account. I have an old MSN account (a Hotmail) and a new one (a GMail). Since my upgrade to KDE 4.2, Kopete virtually [i]never[/i] connects to the Hotmail account, but [i]usually[/i] manages to connect to the Gmail one. Note, however, that both MSN accounts do work. I can log into both of them in aMSN without problems. Apparently Kopete does have some connection to the network, though, even with the account it hates. If I supply a wrong password, it promptly complains. But with the correct password, it just hangs in "Connecting". Kopete connects correctly to Jabber, AIM and ICQ. I have tried going to Configure Kopete -> Accounts -> WLM account -> Modify Account -> Connection and checking or unchecking "Override default server information". This made no difference. I have tried explicitly opening port 1863 in my firewall. This made no difference. Plugins I have active are: KopeteTeX, History, Text Effect. See, for reference, a Fedora Forum thread where I try to troubleshoot the problem: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1176406
I'm pretty sure this issue is a duplicate of 184866
Can you still reproduce this bug, would be great if you could try with Kopete from KDE 4.3 or later.
