I am fumbling around with my new N900- spectacular phone and Internet tablet, but I can't work out how to get an MSN login using the pre installed IM chat prog- I have read so many threads on here but still don't really understand what to do- could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Hey, congrats for buying the N900, it's the best phone ever 
You can't use MSN Messenger with the integrated IM. Go to apps manager, activate maemo extras and download Pidgin. It's the best one for MSN!

which plug-in do you have?
You can also install the "MSN (pecan) protocol plug-in", this will add MSN only, and it's working very well, too.
