HI
My favorite is called amsn you will find it in add & remove just type amsn into the search, with the "show" saying "All available applications"
install you will find it in Applications _ internet_amsn. It is very similar to msn in many ways,
regards Neil

To be able to install amsn you need to enable the "universe" repository

So, Open System->Administration->Software sources-> [ Tab Ubuntu software ]

enable "Community Maintained open source software (universe)"

Close and confirm the repository reload.

Then do what Neil suggest you

Hope this helps

mine is not MSN, mine is just windows messenger which is like windows
messenger 5.1 on XP

You can try to install and use wine... for closed source proprietary applications...

And it may be works...

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=31

Or if this is the most important app install and use Virtualbox package and install Windows on a virtual pc...

Or if this is not enough i think you must stay with Windows....

Hope this helps

some said to try zimbra and i dont know that . but the thing is Windows
messenger use SIP protocol :1080 port.

real_magiz: You need to install the SIPE plugin for Pidgin, as arky described.

i will try. but i would like to mention one thing. In Windows XP, to use
LCS, client must be member of domain and windows messenger must point to
address of LCS .

so user must have domain account <email address hidden> address and with
that, we use messenger

ONe day , my friend at work said he wanna hook with windows messenger and
asked me to configure. he gave me office 2003 installer for Mac and with
that Windows Office Live Messenger is included.

amazingly i found it is cool and with his domain user name and simply by
pointing to LCS, it worked.

i really admired Apply enable that feature and so user friendly.

actually i dont wanna stick to Windows and Ubuntu might have that easy to
use user friendly feature. . thanks!!!

anyway i will try like you said!!
