I have a tiny but important problem. Someone has added me to their contact list on MSN, this shows up with a notification. The problem is that I can't find out how to approve the invitation. How can I do it?

Same here. Was going to ask the same thing right now. In 11.04 at least I could logout, log back in and the option would appear. Now a notification appears and there is no way to accept/decline it. – Luis Alvarado Oct 17 '11 at 3:44
This is still the case. I can not accept a contact from any email address (Not related for been a hotmail account, gmail account, etc..). – Luis Alvarado Nov 23 '11 at 16:29
Changed this with Pidgin. Now everything is OK. Thanks. – onderbakirtas Dec 2 '11 at 14:10

Untick "Display incoming events in the notifications area" in Preferences. I had the same issue as you, as soon as I changed that option and logged out/in I was able to approve the request =) Hope that helps!

You might be experiencing this bug. Can you try restarting Empathy as suggested in the bug report to work around it?

In my case restarting Empathy did nothing. It just made the notification mention me again that there was X user that added me. – Luis Alvarado Oct 21 '11 at 3:35
