Why the lack of MSN support...? This is an interresting app, but can't really be called a "powerful" IM if it doesn't support main clients. Pidgin is indeed starting to fail, a trully powerful IM is really needed on Maemo.
yes, it does support GTalk, but still... WLM, Yahoo, AIM would be helpful... I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude or offensive, I'm sure a lot of hard work was put onto this app, I'm just personally searching for a good WLM client supported on Maemo.
qutiIM core still in development. Therefore, the supported protocols are not many.
qutiIM develop Russian developers and they are not interested in the protocol MSN.
If you're interested you can write a plugin to support qutim MSN.
In addition, there is a qutiIM plugin quetzal for libpurple, which allows you to use pidgin protocols in qutiIM. But in this time he is not working.
