MSN Connection problems with Adium and Pidgin

By Shinji

All the day I was unable to connect to my MSN accounts with Adium. I was at school so I though it was an internal firewall matter, and just spend the day without MSN.

Tonight at home, I retried, same result. I'm a bit worried then... A quick look on the internet and I found out that it was a server problem. Specially a microsoft server problem. Yesterday night (January 11th) at about 20h00, Microsoft decided to block connections from clients using the version 15 of the protocol, including Adium 1.3.2 (the latest one) and the latest Pidgin client.

Adium developpers are working on a fix, but we don't know when. By the time you can downgrade your version of adium to the 1.3.1, and it will work. You won't loose any data (accounts, settings, history).

More informations on Adium's blog.

We're still waiting for explainations from Microsoft...
