           Summary: kopete yahoo doesn't give error on failed
                    authentication
           Product: kopete
           Version: 0.80.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: philipp_foerster at yahoo.com


Version:           0.80.2 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

if a wrong yahoo user name or password is entered kopete won't connect, and
won't display any error. this is very misleading. i thought the problem would
be the protocol or a connection error.

the problem for me was that i entered my username like this xxxxxxx at yahoo.com
instead of xxxxxxx. maybe kopete could automatically strip of the @yahoo.com or
mention what exactly to enter into the field. something like "Yahoo User Name
(without @yahoo.com)"

i think there are quite a few people who could not connect because of this. i
didn't figure it out for months, i thought that kopete's yahoo protocol was
broken.
