Is there anybody who knows how to setup jabber in N900.

I want to use windows live messenger through it. I have found PSI client for maemo but there is no information such as for which version that PSI client would work?

Also Do I really need it installed on N900 or not?

Thanks in Advance.

Jabber is supported by the N900 out of the box . You dont need to install anything .
Setting --> My Voip and IM accounts ---> New and select Jabber

go to "Settings", then select "VOIP and IM accounts" then res thenew button and select Jabber and fill in the appropriate details

But how is "Windows live messenger" related to Jabber?! Or were those two different questions?

You can setup a jabber aco**** with any server that supports it... and they interconnect... if you have a gmail account you can use gtalk instead... it's also jabber under the hood.

To get MSN support working through jabber look up: howto setup MSN transport in jabber. And I think you'll need to us a more advanced client on your desktop... like psi or gajim to find it, configure it and register it.

Hope it helps.

You can use some jabber servers to connect to MSN/AOL etc. accounts, provided the server supports it.
The client needs to support connecting to these services on the jabber server too.
PSI does support this, but I can't see how to do it in the native client on n900 either.

i use the "account-butterfly-plugin" from extras-devel to connect to MSN, and it works well...
the usual disclaimer applies, of course!

On your PC, create a jabber account with PSI
Then, connect to your msn account via your new jabber account (there is a "gateway" option somewhere, I don't remember exactly). The thing is that when you create your jabber account, you have to choose a jabber server, and they don't all allow to connect to your msn account. I chose "binaryfreedom.info" and it works.

You should see all your msn contact appear in PSI

Then, just connect to your jabber account on the N900, and it works

You can use any jabber server. Transports are ussually free-for-all. It's called "Service discovery".

Some other usefull services:
MSN transport
ICQ transport
Y! transport
gadu-gadu transport
Mail transport - this allows receiving notifications and full plaintext mails and also sending them out

To get a transport you basically need to search for a server that has it. Some do some don't. But you don't need to be using the same server.

sorry to come back late to reply guys.

Thanks peio. I will surly give it a try.
