Why are Skype and MSN push notifications no longer supported in DSM?

Details

Due to discontinued support from the official developer, push services for MSN and Skype were removed from DSM in July 2014.
Please see the following details for the official termination of MSN and SkypeKit support:

  • The official support of MSN messenger was officially discontinued in all regions except in China in March 2013 by its service provider.
  • SkypeKit (a development tool to communicate with Skype) was supported until July 2014.

To continue receiving system-related notifications, we recommend you to enable system notifications via email or mobile devices in Control Panel > Notification > Push Service.
