Description Omer Akram 2010-04-13 01:31:07 UTC 
Empathy and emescene can't connect to MSN messenger protocol. Tried to retype
login and password many times. Always returns "Authentication Failure" message.
A friend told me today that he experienced the same trouble on Fedora some time
ago. He said that It happens when login name doesn't end with "@hotmail.com"
(my login ends with "@superig.com"). He said that the problem was fixed later.

This isn't entirely true. My passport address does not end in hotmail.com and works perfectly with butterfly.

If you get an authentication failure in both empathy and emesene, then you've probably typed something wrong.

What version of mission-control and gnome-keyring are you using? There was a bug about password store unlocking in g-k recently which you might be hitting.

If this is indeed a butterfly problem then I'll need logs before I can do anything more:

From the downstream bug report and discussing with Youness, the problem is that the password are limited to 16 chars. The official client accept longer passwords but crop them to 16 chars before sending them we should do the same in papyon

Fixed in git master
