Comment 8 for bug 519954

I think that somehow, Empathy, or the combination of Empathy and the MSN
network rejected my password. I was able to access the MSN messenger service
through aMSN, for example, and Pidgin too, without any problems.

The problem dissapeared when i changed my password from a long one (17
characters) to a shorter one (just 11 characters). I am now able to access
the MSN messenger service with Empathy in Ubuntu 9.10, so If you have a long
password, you may want to try something similar.

I don't know where or how should I report these things. I'm a noob and this
is my first bug report ever.
