Problem with Skype IM "unable to deliver message contact unauthorized"
 

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with Skype on my N900 (PR1.2).

The vast majority of my Skype contacts are fine. I can Skype Instant Message them no problem.

However, there are a couple where when I try and send an IM, I get the message:

messaging_fi_unable_to_deliver_message_contact_una uthorized

I have tried removing the contact (from both my and the remote contact's Skype), and I've readded from my N900 and asked for authorization, and its been accepted, but I still get the error message when I try and IM.

When the remote contact IMs me, well, it just never turns up, but they don't get an error message.

I've also tried it the other way around, where we delete the contacts on each other's Skype, and then the remote contact has asked for authorization, and I've accepted on the N900 - but still the same message.

The remote user us on Windows 7, using Skype 4.2.0.158. It has worked previously, but all of a sudden, it stopped for no obvious reason. This is happening with two of my contacts, who are in two different locations on different versions of Windows. Oddly, Skype voice calls work okay!

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks a lot,
Mark.

I just upgraded the remote user's Skype to 4.2.0.169, and the problem is still there.

Cheers,

I just tried to IM the remote user when he's connected via Fring, and still the same issue :-(

Same here. I can see who is online, I can call them,
BUT can't send or receive IMs from Skype contacts
Same error message

I have the same problem.
Going offline, and online again helps for me.
