I'm having problem's logging into MSN for my Mac. Every time i try it say's "sign in to microsoft messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable". It's been like this for about 4 week's. I've downloaded older & newer version's, but with no luck.

Please Help
 
I had that same problem for quite a while before i started using 3rd party app's like Adium. They seam to do the job without problems
 
Use somthing like Adium. MSN for mac sucks.

I actually found the new MSN for Mac (released in August) was more reliable then Adium. I have been using aMSN, MSN 6.0.2 (and now 6.0.3), and Adium since May and MSN 6.0.3 has been the most stable.

The new MSN 6.0.3 allows me to have personal messages and receive offline messages, something Adium won't let me do for MSN.

aMSN is just garbage it quits unexpectedly all the time in 10.5. Adium constantly logs me out and does not have the features for MSN that I use most. I am content using MSN 6.0.3 for Mac, I have not had any problems with it.
