I've noticed an issue where I'm not receiving all messages that are
being sent to me through MSN. I fired up the official client (LM) and
ran it alongside pidgin yesterday with the same account and watched
messages come in via LM but not in Pidgin with the debug window not
showing anything odd. I was able to capture a few minutes of net
traffic with Wireshark while this was happening.
I've noticed that it doesn't matter if the person sending the messages
is using the official client or Pidgin, as the issue happens with
both. I only miss the messages if I'm using Pidgin, the official
client will catch everything.
Anyone have any ideas or anything else I should try to capture, etc to
help determine the cause of this?
Any idea if you had multiple clients connected when the problem was
first observed?
I haven't been able to figure out the pattern, but if I leave my iPhone
and iPad (or multiple pidgin installations) connected to my MSN account,
messages semi-randomly start going to the inactive client despite the
fact that I haven't used it for hours or days.
New messages tend to go to all connected clients, which is a good thing,
but in the middle of a conversation I'll feel like the person I'm
talking to is ignoring a question and later discover that they did
answer and it wasn't delivered to pidgin.
I've never tested to see if the official client behaves differently,
I've always just assumed it's a quirk with how MSN determines the
message destination since it happens to pidgin, Beejive and IM+.
I actually noticed the issue with Pidgin being the only connected
client, but the issue persisted with or without another client connected.
I can't say whether or not this used to happen in previous versions of
Pidgin since I used to use MSN so infrequently, but now that it's the
_only_ method of IM at my workplace, it's much more prevalent.
The official client seems to catch all incoming messages just fine. I
also noticed that sometimes it'll pick up the messages that I send from
Pidgin, while other times it will not.
As a side-note, using the MSN protocol that is built into Bittlebee
(http://bittlebee.org/) seems to work as expected thus far, though that
only equates to a few hours today.
