Is there a way to stay offline in some IM services while staying on in others? I only have Skype and Gtalk at the moment, but sometimes there may be someone in Yahoo or MSN, for example, that I want to avoid but stay available to other contacts on Skype.
Also, would yahoo allow the option of "appearing offline to..." while staying online to others? Or invisible mode?
Sorry for all the questions.
No. You have to enable/disable accounts that sort of thing. That's part of my wish list for enhanced Profiles support: having different account settings per profile (i.e. enable/disable, Presence, Presence message, etc.)
account-plugin-haze is NOT available from the "maemo.org" application catalogue (Extras) hence it is not visible by default in Application Manager.
It is currently still in Extras-Testing which is NOT meant for normal end users, as software in Extras-Testing needs more testing and may drain your battery or turn your device into a brick.

i just have one simple question....i LOVE this phone...but its missing my fav. app i had on my blackberry....JIVETALK...im a BIG AIMER and YAHOOER..lol like ill die with out those..and its been rough not having them on here...so i basicially want to know....when will fring be released and what can i use to hold me off till then?
Pidgin, the built-in Nokia client (RFTCOMM), and I'm sure there are others.
Yahoo can be a bit of a problem right now due to Yahoo changing their protocol a bit, so results will vary depending on if the client has been updated to fix the change in protocol.
Also if anyone wants to complain about sending someone to extras-testing, just **** off.
Added by lardman:
I want to complain, users should be careful about enabling repos other than Extras as they may contain software that does not work and might stop their existing software from working. extras-testing ought to be at least safer than extras-devel mind you. You have been warned.
On my N900, right now, I can setup IM/VoIP accounts for: Ovi by Nokia, Skype, AIM, Gadu Gadu, Google Talk, GroupWise, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, MSN (Haze), QQ, SIP, Salut, Sametime, and Yahoo. That's with just the built-in Conversations software, plus a few, small, free plug-ins from Extras. I'm not restricted to one active account per service either.
I actually have accounts on most of those services configured and active on my N900 all the time. It just works.
Could you explain how did you manage to add all these protocols to built-in Conversation software? Which plug-ins are you talking about?
im interested in this one too... i have the fring (beta ) installed but freeze on the first try.. plus it still has a lot of bug in it. which plugin did you guys use...
