migrating contact info from MSN Messenger

[ahodge]

I'm pretty new to Linux (Jsut installed Ubuntu Dapper about a week ago). My duaghter cannot live without MSN messenger, and I'm trying to ween her off all Window$ software...

I've got aMSN up and running, and I'd like to bring all her contact info in from MSN.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks.

Her contact list is stored on MSN servers (I think it is there).

So, just login with her info (login and password) on Amsn.

Indeed. It is stored on the M$ server, so once you enter her email and password and it connects, all of her contact list should be the same as how it was on Windows (the contacts, who is blocked, who isn't, etc...).
The ONLY thing that isn't stored on the servers as far as I know is the personal message (the additional message that is set under the nickname, where you can see which song the contact is playing, etc...).

The display picture isn't stored either. Everything else will be maintained
