I just added a friend of mine on msn. I can see her and I can send
messages to her but when I'm online it looks to her like I'm offline
and none of her messages reach me. She tried to send an invitation to
me several times but none of them reached me. I have no idea where to
even begin looking so any help would be very much appreciated.
The client I'm using is kopete 0.12.3, I don't know what client my
friend uses but if you need to know I can ask her and I'd be happy to
provide any other information that might be relevant.

MSN was obsoleted years ago when XMPP became the standard for IM. Have
you considered joining us in this millennium and dropping the
proprietary IM systems entirely?


Actually I haven't considered that ;-), at least not yet. I'm not a frequent
user of IM so I have not kept up with developments in the field for a long
time. Would that allow me to keep in touch with people on MSN cause there's
no way I'm gonna be able to get my friend to switch?

XMPP has server-side transports that act as gateways to MSN, AIM, etc.

These work for basic messaging, but I suspect you will be out of luck if
you like to use voice or video. I don't know if other things like "x is typing"
messages, current music, etc are supported on transports.
