I know I know,
This particular question has been half flogged to death on this site and others. The problems that other users have been having logging into msn since the protocol change a while back.
The advice has been to update ones version of kopete to 10.1 minimum.
Good, I have done that by updating package kdenetwork3 instantmessaging to version: 3.4.1-3
This gives me kopete version 0.10.2
Trying to log on produces a freeze of the programme and then a crash, the message generated is along the lines: of it being a signal 11 crash.
No problem, try gaim instead, I don't care. Ended up lost in dependency hell there having tried to use this site

Back to kopete.
It seems that most users have no problems after upgrade.... why me?!?
System:
suse 9.3
KDE 3.4.0 level b
Kernel: 2.6.11.4-21.8-default
kopete 0.10.2
kdenetwork3: 3.4.1-3
Ready to be flailed!
