It could be that this is complete rubbish now, but: Doesn't Jabber (the IM-protocol supported by the Nokia ITs) handle MSN and ICQ via so-called "transports" on the server side? I never tried it and don't know if the client (=N800 in this case) needs to meet any prerequisites, but it could well be that all you have to do is register your existing MSN/ICQ-IDs with the respective transports on your Jabber-server and you'll get all of your Instant Messaging handled via the built-in Jabber client.

There's also Gaim, a multi-protocol client, that should support those protocols; the download page says nothing about N800/ITOS2007, so it could be Gaim works with the 770 only.

Yes, Gaim works fine on N800. And yes, you can use the original N800 jabber client to connect to msn. You need a jabber server that provides a gateway to msn network. I think you can find more info from this forum or from jabber homepage.

The GAIM msn client works perfectly for me on 770 and N800.

Select jabber server (https://www.xmpp.net/map/node) who you trust and check that it supports msn transport. Go to server web page and follow their instructions.

Hello
I am a N800 newbie also. I downloaded the maemo-gaim-install file from maemo.org, copied it to an SDIO card and tried to install it using applications manager "install from File", I get an error that says it will not install with the OS.
What is the secret to instaling GAIM and getting it to work?

many thanks
