Linux isn't Windows. If an application worked initially, and you haven't tinkered with the installed files (for which you'd need to be root to do) then there is probably nothign wrong with the installed application. Delete the hidden .kopete folder, and restart Kopete... it will be back it's inital settings as if you had just installed it. Setup your MSN account again, and things should work again.

Better, do not delete it, just rename it to .kopete.old. This will help you to recover some of the settings if something goes wrong. Cheers Sunny

Your "home" directory is not /home but rather /home/your_user_name Look in -your- home directory for .kopete.

Actually the problem is that the authentication on the server side has changed. There is nothing that can be done short of a code fix. There is a patch that can be used with the latest version from the Subversion repository. A new release of KDE is due, and it should have the patch integrated. -- Jeff Dierking jeff@lordjester.com ------------------------ GPG/PGP KeyID 0x5F355DB4 Retrieve pgp-public-keys@pgp.mit.edu?subject=get%200x5F355DB4 ------------------------ Though in my opinion, Emacs just goes a teeny bit too far when it includes a web browser, directory editor, e-mail reader and news reader, and a version of othello!
