I tried account-plugin-butterfly today from extras-testing and found it working.
for some reasson, I got some contacts with no name (possibly they did not have names in my messenger).
Apart from that, I got most of my other contacts (I had only about 50 contacts in all).
I tried searching "haze" but could not find it (is it same as hermez?).
Anyway, I got my MSN stufff working woth "account-plugin-butterfly"
(not sure if it drains battery faster as yet to use it more)..

Msn-pecan came out recently: http://felipec.wordpress.com/2009/12...k-integration/
According to the author, it is more stable and efficient than haze and butterfly.

which one uses the least amount of power?
i myself have used haze (pidgin is the same i think) and this works perfect. no useless stuff anywhere, just the extra msn button, works great and all, but it does drains the battery quite rapidly. could be the data connection as well but..
anyone have any experiences on the other plugins?
I have switched to butterfly now as it seems to be the "default" for Maemo 5... (?)
There is one annoying problem with butterfly though; If You delete a contact it isn't deleted from the server.
In fact the contacts I'm talking about don't even show up using haze (as I deleted them a long time ago). They aren't present on the MSN Live site, and don't show up in any other MSN client.
I'm not sure where the problem lies, but the maintainer of butterfly should have a look at the code haze uses since that works...
I have created a bug report regarding this -> https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7375
EDIT -> There is already a bug report for this on FreeDesktop.org -> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19903

....Is there something that doesn't use a integration with the rubric? a stand-alone app that doesn't make new entry in it...I really hate to have new fields mixed up with important phone number&co...

Hi. I'm the author of msn-pecan, and actually I wrote the one in libpurple too (telepathy-haze uses that).
@unkno is correct, msn-pecan should perform better than haze, at least I haven't seen any significant battery drain.
If there's any feature that you want, you can add and vote for them here.

You left out one. Use jabber and use a jabber msn transport
2. MSN protocol plugin for maemo 5
3. Extra protocol plugins for maemo 5
all in extras devel.
