Hello,
I can't display my username as I would like.
Up to the status(Available, Away, etc) it shows the name I want, but, on the contact list, it keeps showing my e-mail!
I've already changed:
Adium > Preferences > MSN account > Edit > 'Personal' tab > Display name. (it has the name I want).

Adium > Preferences > Personal > Name.
(it has the name I want).

Adium > Advanced > Messages > Checked 'Custom name format' > Choose user name.

What could be wrong?
Any help is appreciated!
 
Uhh... are you able to chat with your friends??

If it's working, I don't see the problem? Maybe I'm not understanding your question correctly.

Yes, of course I am. But my nickname is my e-mail address, not the one I want to use.
Instead of Wowzera, let's say, my nickname is wowzera@gmail.com. How can I set it to Wowzera?
 
I'm having the same problem! Has anyone figured out why this is happening? I've gone into preferences under both the account, and general preferences - and it still shows my email.
