Hello list, It seems that after recently adding a new contact to my MSN list, I'm unable to connect with Pidgin. Other clients can connect (at least MSN Messenger and emesene both work fine). Here's the order of events:
Someone added me to their list. I approved them (so he could see me on his list), but I accidentally cancelled adding them to my own list. I added the same person as a new contact, and he appeared in my list - all was fine as far as I could tell. I hibernated my machine, went home, turned on my computer, but didn't look at Pidgin until the morning. When I finally did check Pidgin, I saw that my Messenger account was disconnected (I also have Google-talk, and a (disabled) ICQ account setup in Pidgin). The reason for not being able to connect is the error message in the subject: "Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book". If I have another client, like emesene signed-in, and I attempt to login with Pidgin, emesene will get signed-off, but then I get the same address book error in Pidgin. I figure something is messed up maybe with some recent changes to MSN. I've tried several versions of Pidgin 2.4.x (I'm running it on F7-x86_64), but so far no luck. Any suggestions? Regards, Mike
