I'm using Escargot on Windows Mobile!

First of all, let me declare that my English is not very good and I am currently using translation software!

As is well known, Microsoft stopped providing WLM (MSN) services as early as 2014, resulting in the inability to use WLM (MSN) that comes with Windows Mobile.
On this forum, someone attempted to patch WLM (MSN) on Windows Mobile, but it seems to have failed.

So I am planning to develop my own Escargot client that supports Windows Mobile and use MSNP4 as the chat protocol (which will be upgraded later).
This is a screenshot:






This is the installation package (cab):
Pocket Escargot build 019.cab (150.1 KB)
At present, it is still in testing and only the Chinese version has been developed. I will continue to improve it in the future.

众所周知,微软早在2014年就停止提供WLM(MSN)服务,导致Windows Mobile附带的WLM(MSN)无法使用。
在此论坛上,有人试图在Windows Mobile上修补WLM(MSN),但似乎失败了。

所以我准备自己开发一个支持Windows Mobile的Escargot客户端,并且使用MSNP4作为聊天协议(后面会升级的)。
这是截图:(见上)
这是安装包(cab):(见上)

目前还在测试当中,而且只做了中文版,后续我会不断改进的。

HOLY SHIT! THIS IS AMAZING!! :smiley: I will try it out as SOON as i get my new wm 6.1 phone. BTW does it require to sign up or do you login with any name and password? if it requires sign up, where can i sign up?

edit: i didnt realize in the screenshots that the emails were escargot :stuck_out_tongue:

However, there are still some bugs in the current version, you can consider installing it after the official version is released.(Using machine translation software)

Hello, are there any updates regarding Windows Live Messenger on Windows Mobile, and will it work on HTC Advantage x7510? For more information, this is the source link to the topic made in MessengerGeek about the version of Windows Live Messenger and its compatibility:

what PDA emulator u using?

Hello, this is an update regarding the English version of this application, which was modified using Claude AI. The modification consisted only of translating from a foreign language into English; however, it crashes when attempting to log in, both before and after the modification. This may not be a translation issue and could be caused by the IP address; attached is the CAB file for more details.

Here are screenshots of the English version, it has the Escargot icon in Pocket version.


It is possible to work further on it to revive the Windows Live Messenger, as the application itself might be a different version of the HTC Advantage X7510 which is mentioned in the previous forum page, it is an open source as this OP written.

Edit: Nice! It is tested and now works on a real device, the HTC Advantage X7510 PDA mobile, without any issues or crashes after login.

While the creator of this application did not make any updates, it is possible to rework their progress as it is written all in C#.
