Hello,

I am on the very latest version of Adium, and there seems to be some problems. For example contacts added on Adium are not reflected on Messenger for Mac, and I cannot add contacts on Adium (some error).

I believe the second problem is due to libpurple and not Adium, but what about the first? Are there alternatives to Adium that are just as good?
 
I've had these troubles for YEARS with Adium. Fortunately, I just gave up on using anything but Adium for my MSN-ing, and now that MSN is slowly dying off (at least amongst my friends), I've actually moved to iChat w/Facebook chat instead.

Seems that's what all the cool kids are doing these days.
 
Are you using the latest Adium beta, the current release 1.4.1 has major issues with msn.
There is a beta 1.4.2b1 that fixes many issues.
Download it here:

Since its beta, i find it very glitchy...

Text, facebook chat and skype!
