    I just tried it again but instead of flipping internet connection type,

    - switch IM to offline
    - disconnect all internet connection
    - switch IM to online

    Worked like a charm.

    okay even easier workaround.

    - press power button
    - select 'Offline mode' from popup menu.
    - press power button again
    - select 'Normal mode'

    your IM connections should now be restored

    Have to say those don't work for me.

    Rebooting is still the only sure way of doing it.

    Does anyone know when this will be fixed as it really kills the argument for the N900 being great for all in one IM communication.

    Just to extend that.

    I never have the problem with built in IM accounts like Google Chat and Skype.

    It's only the 3rd party ones I've installed MSN (both Haze and Butterfly) and QQ.

    MSN keeps logging out or not logging in at all at random times for me, this happens several times almost every day. I used Butterfly before but now I use Haze but the problem is present on both. Is there a solution for this? Or is it filed in bugzilla, I searched without success...

    If you get network error in IM accounts plugging easy fix without restart is to kill the task in Xterminal, the task will start again if you open 'My Availability' by pressing the power button.

    For MSN Butterfly the command is /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-butterfly

    Fast way to do it is to type in xterminal: (sudo gainroot required)
    killall python

    the plugin forgot about the server settings (somehow...), HAZE and ICQ brought constant Network error to me and didnt proceed with changes... so setting the port by hand didnt work... installed upgrades from testing, didnt work as it does not replace msn it adds another, deleted haze and ICQ accounts, added new ones for both, for icq it works like a charm but for msn you need to merge your contacts again...

    PS after rebooting didnt work...

    I have MSN Haze that came as part of the pidgin protocols package (I don't recall installing this, it appeared after I installed twitter functionality, I think).. Aaaaanyways, worked fine the first ~2 weeks after I set it up and now I can not connect, ever, while I can connect over the same wireless network on my desktop no problem. On top of that, check this weirdness out: with my MSN haze acct disabled on the phone I still occasionally get spam messages put of nowhere with links from my MSN contacts (whose accts have been hacked or whatever). Anybody have any ideas what's wrong?

    Rebooting and offline mode both didn't work for me so for the moment I use a script to kill it.

    msn-fix.sh:


    #! /bin/sh

    if [ $(ps -eo cmd | grep -c telepathy-butterfl$) -ne 0 ]; then
    kill `ps -ef | grep telepathy-butterfl | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'
    fi;

    /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-butterfly > /dev/null 2>&1 &
