My bad, I hadn’t read the earlier posts from Xoa. It’s fine now that I’ve set it to connect via HTTP, but why was there a problem in the first place?

I’m just curious :/

I’m gettin this problem with Adium 1.3.1 in Tiger. All my MSN contacts disappeared when it finally connected. I started re-adding them manually but then MSN disconnected again. Is this the same problem…and will it be fixed?

I retract that last post, I had to restart Adium, not just reconnect the client, it now connects to MSN after setting it to connect via HTTP.

Okay, I’m getting the same error, on OS X 10.4.11 using Adium. I’ve not been able to connect to MSN in over a month, using OS X 10.5 or 10.4, but I can sign into Hotmail just fine, so I know my user name and password are the correct ones. (they’re the same ones I used for my MSN account). I’ve also tried telling Adium to connect to MSN via HTTP, and it had no effect.

I still get the same error stating that either my user name, or password are incorrect.

Also, under both 10.4, and 10.5, I can connect to MSN just fine using Finch (Pidgin sans GUI). So it’s not a libpurple issue, (as Adium, Finch, and Pidgin all use libpurple, if it was that it would effect all of them, and it doesn’t).

Does anyone have any updates to this? It seems like it’s been a long time since anyone has replied with any actual information on possible fixes to the issue? I’m hoping that the people that make Adium are still working on this issue.

I get the same thing as Aviva, I can’t connect and it says that my email or password is incorrect, but the same email and password log me into Hotmail. I’m using OS X 10.5.4 and Adium 1.3.

I got today’s update and since then, it tells me that my e-mail or password is invalid. Can’t be. What happened? Help.

I’m on Leopard 10.5.4 using Adium 1.2.7 and still unable to connect. Did Apple switch back to SRV for 10.5.4 after flipping back to A when moving form 10.5.2 to 10.5.3?
