Okay, let me explain a bit.

The built-in IM client uses Telepathy. There are two ways to use MSN through telepathy:

* telepathy-butterfly
* telepathy-haze

Later versions of telepathy-butterfly support video chat, however that is not supported in the version for N900... yet. The guys working on it are very interested in making it a reality for us.

Telepathy-haze allows the use of libpurple plugins... so essentially the Pidgin protocol plugin.

Both methods for connecting to MSN are integrated fully into the internal chat program.

Since Saturday, neither plugin appears to work for me anymore, disconnecting constantly or never connecting at all. I believe this is because I upgraded the firmware from 39-9 to 41-10. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
