Here is a tutorial how to get Internet Messengers on the N9/N950

Credits to billranton and coderus!

If you want to use MSN, there are 2 methods to get this done.
Method 1 (for the most of us, the easy way): MSN-Haze
Method 2: MSN-Pecan

For all the other IM's (ICQ/Yahoo/AIM/IRC/Facebook/Gadu-Gadu/QQ) you need to use Method 1!

Method 1 using MSN with Haze: (credits goes to coderus)

First of all, create a new folder called "msn" in the "MyDocs".

Now lets download the needed files in the msn folder:
libpurple0
telepathy-haze

Once you saved the files, open the Terminal and type in the following commands:

Code:

devel-su
(password: rootme)

cd /home/user/MyDocs/msn
dpkg -i libpurple0*
dpkg -i telepathy-haze*


mc-tool add haze/msn (youremail) string:account=(youremail) string:password=(yourpassword)

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

if you want to use some other IM than MSN, just change haze/msn into the desired IM:
haze/icq
haze/yahoo
haze/aim
haze/irc
haze/facebook
haze/gadugadu
haze/qq

Add (another) MSN account
To add a new account:

Code:

mc-tool add haze/msn (youremail) string:account=(youremail) string:password=(yourpassword)

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

For other IM's, just change the haze/msn into the desired IM.

Remove a MSN account
If you wan't to remove an account from the list:

Code:

mc-tool list  (to see which accounts are saved)
mc-tool remove haze/msn/(account)

For other IM's, just change the haze/msn into the desired IM.

--------------------------------------------------

Method 2 using MSN with Pecan: (credits goes to billranton)
First of all, create a new folder called "msn" in the "MyDocs".

Now lets download the needed files in the msn folder:
Harmattan Development Repository
Papyon
Telepathy-Pyton
Telepathy-Butterfly

Once you saved the files, open the Terminal and type in the following commands:

Code:

devel-su
(password: rootme)

cd /home/user/MyDocs/msn
dpkg -i harmattan-repository*.deb
apt-get update
apt-get install python-gobject python-openssl python-gst0.10 python-farsight python-crypto python-dbus

dpkg -i python-papyon*.deb
dpkg -i python-telepathy*.deb
dpkg -i telepathy-butterfly*.deb

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

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

That's all!

Add (another) account
To add a new account:

Code:

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

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

Remove account
If you wan't to remove an account from the list:

Code:

mc-tool list  (to see which accounts are saved)
mc-tool remove butterfly/msn/(account)

Please follow THIS tutorial for a proper integration of telepathy accounts!

Pidgin isn't possible, needs a major rewrite (Gtk isn't on Harmattan).

MSN needs telepathy-haze/pecan and a plugin UI (no one's working on it afaik).

Isn't it possible to add GTK in Harmattan? (Just like we do with Qt on the N900)

Needs too much work and adaptation, not really worth it for one app.

You could use a jabber account to conect to msn. I don´t remember the thread but someone explain the process when msn changed the protocol and all the plugin´s weren´t working.

EDIT:

Just found it!
