MSN have been ‘migrating accounts’ on their servers. This changes all the group numbers that organise your contacts, and so the next time you connect with Kopete, everything is broken. Upgrade to Kopete 0.8.2. If you can’t upgrade, you can work around it by deleting KDEHOME/share/config/kopeterc and KDEHOME/share/apps/kopete/contactlist.xml. Note that you will lose contacts that are not stored on the server, eg. for ICQ (in some cases) or IRC. So moving those files aside is better than totally deleting them, that way you can add the contacts again.

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
