I've just tested AOL and I don't get this problem. I haven't used the account for years though and I have no online contacts. Simply signing in doesn't break anything though.

Niwakame: Next update can I suggest some renaming? For a start AOL should probably be called AIM, and I think the MSN should be 'MSN (Haze)' as it was on the N900. That way we can include config for butterfly and pecan so people can have them all available if they wish. DIfferent versions tend to stop working at different times - I had to change over quite a few times on my N900 until things got fixed. Choice is good.

One other thing about repositories: You can create your own account on OBS and keep sets of packages on there. Has to be from source though I think. I've been trying to get libpurple0 to build on there but haven't had any luck yet. It comes from the pidgin source and that has too many dependencies.
