You really should upgrade your Kopete and your KDE. The problem with propriatary protocol is that there is no protocol specifications of the protocols. which means that when their upgrade their server, Kopete may not work anymore. To fix that problem, you should upgrade your client. If you want to be able old to use old client, You should switch to Jabber. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 68204 ***
