Not encountered this in previous builds, but Kopete won't stay connected to MSN, but remains connected to Yahoo and AOL messenger's okay. Have set it up as I usually do so seems like a bug of some sort?
well, msn is the only protocol/network i use with kopete and i've never had that problem with any version of kopete. (including the current version: 0.12.5 [4:3.5.7-2ubuntu1]). just so you know...
Disturbadite, it connects then disconnects all the time, so I don't know what I have done wrong in the settings if yours is okay. The AOL and Yahoo don't do this, and I have been able to use Kopete before in the other builds. Can you please run through your settings (minus your IM address of course! just so I can check with mine.
i just thought of another suggestion. try deleting your profile/msn account from kopete and doing the whole thing over again. or at least the username/password. if you set it to remember your un/pass and typed it wrong and set it to auto-reconnect, then it will disconnect continually.
Exactly what happened to me and keep bugging me for a year, Kopete on and off works for me after install new versions, no matter upgrade from previous or new install, that's why I've to use Pidgin, but just now it gives no sound except console beep and I missed 'calls', it worked just 10min. ago BEFORE the latest update I installed. I read somewhere the Ubuntu guys do every new version from scratch instead of upgrade from old one, I suggest to change that, so what worked before will keep working !

Okay I will try that suggestion and thanks for the help! Will report back
Well I tried your suggestion Disturbedite, but no joy! All my contacts come down as usual once I have filled in the connection details, and the butterfly is coloured okay, but as soon as I try to send a message, the Kopete icon spins, then upcomes this message in the bubble ' The following message has not been sent correctly so connection closed.Both Yahoo and Aol (aim) are okay its just the blasted MSN! (Which has most of my contacts) Blast! I am not the only one though that has had problems with Kopete and the MSN messenger. Anyway its not MSN its Windows Live Messenger now.
fwiw, there is a google soc project to implement msnp13 support for kopete. (which is what wlm uses & it will introduce those new features to kopete as well, obviously).
