    Still not up there with the pc version but better than before. It takes an age to find older version when installing tho.

    Still has the same bug as before with my msn account, it always says there is one unread email in my others folder despite there not being one grrr

    Same. Going to have to keep using the Windows version for that then =/

    Annoyingly when I'm in a conversation with 3 or more other people and someone is invited in or leaves then the window freezes for about 10 seconds.

    Edit: this happened the other night too:



    You can see in the blue and grey boxes that some of the display names and email addresses (important bits blocked out) have gone backwards. I've not been able to recreate it since though.

    That's probably due to the chat logging. Turn that off and it won't freeze.
