Using Jabberwocky for MSN accounts
« on: April 17, 2003, 01:38:35 AM »
I've just installed Jabberwocky on Amithlon with the intention of using it with my existing MSN Messenger account.

I've got it all installed and running and have gotten to the point where I have this:
msn.jabber.com
on the list.

What do I do next?
How do I import my MSN contacts?
And yes, I *did* RTFM  :rtfm:   :-D  but I found it somewhat incomplete on that particular subject.

The trick is that you don't type the hotmail URL
but the passport URL...

eg.
Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com
you type:   goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com

Will that also work for non hotmail.com addresses?
Eg. my own passport account is a @mail.dk domain

And the thing about importing contacts I'm affraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time... But don't hang me on this :-D

But will this mess with my existing settings, or doesn't Jabberwocky touch the actual Passport server at all?
I have quite a lot of contacts in my profile that i would like to be able to continue using under Windows.

Jep, vi er vel nok en 10 stykker, sådan lidt "on and off"  :-)

Btw, thanks for the advice, I now have a working MSN account set up in Jabber  :pint:
