It's a known problem. The message is sent - your friend should see it. But you won't. And you can't receiver messages either.

AFAIK - no known workarounds exist. No one traced the problem yet. There were some reports that message is actually being received but is not properly displayed. In either case no one got it to work. IMHO - use pidgin & co instead.
