Pidgin SIPE plug-in

This project develops a third-party plugin for the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger. It implements the extended version of SIP/SIMPLE used by various products such as Microsoft Office Communications Server, Reuters Messaging, Microsoft Live Communications Server.

With this plugin you should be able to replace your Microsoft Office Communicator client with Pidgin.

It is not recommended to compile the source code yourself. Experience has shown that it is difficult to get all prerequisites correctly in place, especially for new Linux users. Instead you should use the ready-to-use installation packages which most OS distributions offer under the name pidgin-sipe. See also the links at the bottom of this page.
