Yes we fully understand your concerns regarding supporting the MXit
plugin. However we are committed to providing support as far as
possible. Our support team have subscribed to the Pidgin support mailing
list today to handle all MXit related issues.

We have also created an installation-and-MXit-account-setup tutorial
which is available from the download web pages
(http://devzone.mxit.com/libPurple/download/6/). We also provide a
section in the MXit support forum to handle MXit Pidgin issues
(http://forum.mxit.com/viewforum.php?f=150).

Thank you for your input. I like your idea of adding a label to the
username field to help the users and I have applied it in the plugin.



Regards,

Pieter
