first of all we need to create xml files to declare the provider and service to the system. These are stored in /usr/share/accounts/. I copied the skype ones and changed them. Here's my msn ones as an example:
/usr/share/accounts/providers/msn.provider:
the icons are taken from /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icon . Harmattan actually has two msn icons preinstalled to choose from: Icon-m-service-msn and icon-m-service-msn-messenger. Other protocol icons included by default are: Icon-m-service-aol-messenger, icon-m-service-icq, icon-m-service-yahoo-messenger.Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!doctype provider> <provider version="1.0" id="msn"> -=blah blah blah=- <setting name="password" type="password"/> </install-existing> </provider>
Msn.service, watch out for the manager and protocol settings, they need to be whatever your telepathy plugin states:
make sure you edit these somewhere else, as they seem to be picked up pretty quickly once in the directory and added to the database, whether you've finished or not. Note that you'll need to be root to put them in the proper place.Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <service id="msn"> <type>im</type> <provider>msn</provider> <name>msn</name> -=blah blah blah=- </service-presences-list> </type-data> </service>
In my mind... when you say "create xml file", it means to open up a Text document, paste your code, and save it as a .xml is that correct? I noticed you also mentioned it's picky, so editing on a simple txt file on Windows XP, would that do a difference? lol And I am to assume those two codes quotes above have to be two different xml files? I can see the first file is to be called msn.provider (for MSN settings) and placed under /usr/share/accounts/providers/ but how about the second file? What do I name it and where to place it...? The rest of the instructions seem pretty much straight-forward.
Thanks in advance!

first of all, save it as msn.provider and msn.service, not anything ending at .xml
Use for saving the normal windows editor / notepad. Not wordpad, word or something else, just plain plaintext.
It is after all a plaintext file that's using XML notation. Nothing more or less.
msn.provider goes to /usr/share/accounts/providers/
msn.service goes to /usr/share/accounts/services/
Beware that linux is case sensitive so Msn.service is another file than msn.service (see the "M" vs "m").

Cuz... not that user-friendly, lol, never really had to edit a file inside a file
Assuming you've got the harmattan dev repository set up, you can install sqlite to add the account manually

Please try to download it again. Maybe it is corrupted. It opens fine for me, so aegis shouldn't reject you with an invalid deb archive error.
As an alternative:
this is the postinstall script from the above mentioned package.
save this to a file "enablerepo" or something, upload to phone
and then as root

if [ ! -e /$INSTALL_DIR/sources.list ]; then
echo Copying sources.list..
echo "deb http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ harmattan/sdk free non-free" >> $INSTALL_DIR/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ harmattan/sdk free" >> $INSTALL_DIR/sources.list
echo "deb http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ harmattan/41667a5bd857be02f487c2ce806fbf85 nokia-binaries" >> $INSTALL_DIR/sources.list
fi

and then as root
Code:
chmod +x enablerepo ./enablerepo

cd /user/mydocs/
then run dpkg -i
also remember to apt-get update it after.

I wasn't expecting anyone NOT to use the autocompletion feature of the terminal. Please use the "tab" key to autocomplete the filename for you. If you're in the wrong directory it won't work, and then you'll know why.
dpkg -i harm<tab key> should autocomplete it
if there are multiple matches for the filename, then <tab key><tab key> in a short interval (like double click) will list all possible candidates

simple things first, I often forget this
