Setting up an MSN-XMPP account in !BitlBee
Microsoft claims that newer Skype clients should be used to access MSN, actually those contacts are reached using XMPP, not Skype's native protocol. Here is how you can see those old MSN contacts in BitlBee. (And not by using the Skype plugin.)
Connecting using OAuth
If your login is alice@live.com, use alice@messenger.live.com as login. If you have a non-live.com domain, just write anything before @messenger.live.com as username, and the server will send you the correct JID after the oauth login.
