I've been using Extra protocol plugins doe Maemo 5 in the Extras-Devel and it currently supports yahoo, AIM, msn(haze),ICQ, & more. seems to work very well with haze and battery drain doesnt seem to be as bad as the account-plugin-butterfly.

jabber for msn, yahoo and what not. i kept jabber connected the whole night and no effect on battery. before that i tried pidgin, amsn but they are bulky, slow and battery drainers. i love built-in support for jabber. i can use msn, yahoo and other chat clients from my contact list now. there is a thread for it. search for "jabber"

Does jabber require you to set up the MSN transport on your own server or what?

If you make your own jabberserver you must have msn gateway/transport in there to make sure msn will work. Otherwise it wont.
There's a lot of free jabber servers where is msn gateway installed.

You can use ANY jabber server that provides a jabber transport. That's the beauty of jabber.
I at one time had a @jabber.org account but used jabber transports on jabber.no
You can do the same

The problem I am facing right now is that no matter what solution I use, i always get all my contacts showing up in my contact list.
Now I know that this is intended, however with a few hundred people on each service (icq/msn/etc.), and without support for groups things get a bit confusing when navigating the contact lists.
Best case would be, to only have certain contacts showing up, or only those who I know in real-life (meaning those I merged /I have a phone number for).
I haven't tried the jabber transport solution yet, but is something along those lines possible with it ?
Any other suggestions ?

Why are there already 3 protocol plugins for msn?
Wouldnt it be better to have just 1 that works really great? So combine the efforts?
of the 3 (pecan,haze and butterfly) only 1 works for me and thats haze.
the last one butterfly , did work before but with version 0.7 i cant get it to work.
But now i have all my msn accounts double
and i have to merge the contacts again...
I guess if you delete an account it is not ok just to delete all the contacts information that related with it because when you reinstall it you have that info again. But it would be nice if you delete an account that it asks what it should do with the contact information that is already stored in the contacts.. So that i can say you can delete it..

Pecan doesn't work at all, and butterfly imported lots of contacts which I had already deleted (some years ago) -> https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7375
I haven't deleted the contacts that "belong" to butterfly (MSN) plugin so I still have them double "MSN" (butterfly) + "MSN (Haze)", because I'm guessing butterfly will be the winner in the end...
