 FAQ
What protocols does emesene support?

    emesene is, as the name already suggests, primarily an MSN client. emesene comes with this protocol by default. It does, however, also support Google Talk and Facebook sessions, which will be available from the login screen if you have python-xmpp installed.


Does emesene have webcam support for the MSN protocol?

    No. This is because Microsoft uses some codec that doesn't have an open source variant. Therefore, it is impossible for us to add webcam support.


Emesene doesn't use the Messaging Menu in Ubuntu 12.04

    This is a packaging bug in Ubuntu 12.04. If you want to use the Messaging Menu, you should install

    python-indicate

    and enable the Messaging Menu through

    Preferences->Extensions->tray icon.


Multiple windows open when someone talks to me

    This is most likely because you opened emesene multiple times. If you click the close button on the emesene main window, emesene will not close, but hide instead. If you're using Ubuntu, emesene is hiding in the Messaging Menu (grey/blue envelope in the upper right of the screen), on other distributions it should hide to a tray icon. In emesene 2.12.2+, clicking the emesene desktop icon will show the previously opened instance.


All my logs disappeared

    You most likely have multiple instances of emesene open (see above). Emesene can only open the logging database once.


I can't connect to the msn network

    Microsoft shut it down on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
msn has been shutdown
As title says, the msn messenger servers have been stopped


emesene segfaults, what should I do?

    You're most likely using Gentoo, and you'll have to recompile glibc. There's nothing we can do about this.
