Line 3: Line 3:
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.) Probably gone forever, and the skype protocol is probably used for everything.

== 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.

{{{#!irc
12:12:54 <alice> account add jabber alice@messenger.live.com
12:12:54 <root> Account successfully added with tag jabber
12:12:54 <root> You can now use the /OPER command to enter the password
12:12:54 <root> Alternatively, enable OAuth if the account supports it: account jabber set oauth on
12:13:03 <alice> acc jabber set oauth on
12:13:03 <root> oauth = `on'
12:13:06 <alice> acc jabber on
12:13:06 <root> jabber - Logging in: Starting OAuth authentication
}}}

From there on, just follow the on-screen instructions and you will be all set.
