I'm pretty sure you have GAIM installed on the system. That's an instant messenger that supports lots of networks (Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, IRC, Jabber, etc..). Pretty good, having everything on the same software..

If it isn't installed on your system, you can get it from http://gaim.sourceforge.net.

My favourite is amsn that you can get at sourceforge. It is quite close to msn and works well with people using it. I just use it to get in touch with the poor friends of mine who insensitive to my linus propaganda and my attemps to use talk.

If you use KDE, you can install kopete, (kde-instant-messenger or something similar) or gaim if you use GNOME.

For future reference, don't thread hijack, it's a bit rude.

are you sure you have the right password? do you have the most updated version of kopete? have you tried gaim?

Sorry about that then

But before you load up GAIM, be sure to donate a few bucks to them for their hard work to create an awesome application that enables you to connect to just about all of the IM protocols known to humans.. it would be a great way to say thanks and continue the software development.
