user name format support by messenger

Hi every one, i am using a Aspire One Linux version, when i try to log in to my MSN, with the built in messenger software, an error message appeared saying that the my address is not supported, my MSN is [email protected] , also the same problem happened on AIM, it said that my screen name is incorrect, my screen name is [email protected] will there be any solutions of if no, will there be any alternative solutions?
Thank you!

 

You need to run update utility for AA1 so you'll get working version of the program.

 

do you mean the lastest live update?

 

I just updated the aspire one, work well with MSN, but still can't use AIM
my screen name is [email protected], it won't work, what to do?

 

There is also a problem with Google Talk, the application doesn't accept german GMail addresses like

[email protected]

This application isn't localized very well. :cry:

 

Hi,

Saw that people was writing regarding problems with Messenger...

I also have problems with it.

MSN works fine here, but Gtalk will not work.. I have a @gmail.com address, though I made it when I was in Denmark it was way back before any other email address was made from Google.. Al the settings I have is in English from day one, so any one know what it could be that is wrong?

seems every one have the similar problems, may be i should ask Acer if they could give any answers.

 

Acer has known the issue, they will fix it by live update.

 

Thats great, I hope that the fix will be release as soon as possible! :lol:

 

There is a workaround you can try.
I use my aol account [email protected] for example.

1. add a new aim account and use the account name only instead of the full email address.
use "eaway" in my case.
2. close messenger. (not only close the window, but also close the app from system tray icon)
3. use editor to open ~/.purple/accounts.xml
4. find your aol account name and modify it to the full email address
<account>
<protocol>prpl-aim</protocol>
<name>eaway</name>
....
change this line <name>eaway</name> to be <name>[email protected]</name>
5. launch the messenger again and you should be able to login.

 

Hi eaway,

Tried that one for the Gtalk thing.. didn't work though, I was hoping.. But I can see that it uses jabber as protocol, so I tried to update that one, only to get the messages that updater couldn't find the Jabber folder
