wrong passwords normally... you are using the right protocol for each account i take it? and using the newest version? 0.64 i think is the newest.

ya is the most current version and the password is correct

That's odd... Well, just to make sure:

Screen name = <your e-mail adress>
Password = <your password>
Alias = <any alias you choose>

Many peoples mix up the screen name with alias...

I have the same prob with gaim in red hat 8.0 and my password right.

I cannot think about anything helpful, but... Try to delete de folder ./gaim from your /home directory and run gaim again. It will "re-create" a new gaim profile. Well, that's what I do with programs that does not work properly, I always delete the ./<file name> and see what happens...

Good Luck!!!

This might sound overly simplistic but when I had a similar problem I discovered I had not completed some of the needed info, i.e., the complete email address: whoever@hotmail.com or whoever@msn.com
