Now to add MSN support on the N900, all one has to do is download and install a simple package from the reps and it will appear on the UI of the Accounts page. That's pretty much all i want...lol, a UI on the Account page where I can easily enter and change my information at will. I'd rather avoid the terminal if not urgently needed...
Ah yes I know what you mean. I used pecan on my n900. This is actually equivalent to the 'telepathy-butterfly' solution on the n900, and if someone makes a UI for that then they would use the same packages. None of the n900 solutions are supported by microsoft though, so we're still on our own.

The guy who maintained msn-pecan on the n900 has said that he will port it to harmattan, he just hasn't had time yet (though I hope no-one hassles him too much).

I've updated my earlier post with the proper packages, so everyone should replace the self-built stuff with those. To do that, run 'make uninstall' as root in the telepathy-butterfly and python-telepathy source directories, then install the packages. Papyon doesn't seem to do uninstall, but didn't seem to care. If you get an error about files not being linked, uninstall the package and install it again. That worked for me. My N9 feels a lot cleaner now

I get "permission denied" when doing "mkdir /home/user/msn".

Any idea why?

I guess you're trying to do this as root. The Aegis security system in harmattan won't let root mess with user's files.
Don't bother with all that though, just install the .deb packages I linked to in the earlier post. You can put them anywhere you like.

billranton: yeah, just following the instructions in the OP letter by letter.

So in this part, I can just change "/home/user/msn" to "/home/user/MyDocs/mymsnfolder" in all instances and that will work?

mkdir /home/user/msn
cp -r papyon-0.5.6 /home/user/msn
cp -r telepathy-python-0.15.19 /home/user/msn
cd /home/user/msn/papyon-0.5.6
chmod 777 *
python setup.py install
cd /home/user/msn/telepathy-python-0.15.19
chmod 777 *
./configure
make
make install
cd /home/user/MyDocs/msn
dpkg -i telepathy-butterfly_0.5.15+git20111122-1_armel.deb

mc-tool add butterfly/msn MSN string:account=(youremail) stringassword=(yourpassword)

mc-tool enable (your account, it's shown 1 line above, starting with butterfly/msn/)

rm -Rf /home/user/msn
