I’ve been getting constant MSN spam. I don’t know why. Never started before I used Digsby.
On the other hand - I never logged on to MSN for a long time until I started using Digsby.

@ SL83 I’ve been getting a lot of spam also. Been blocking all of them so far.

Ever since this morning European time it is almost impossible to reconnect to MSN. I think it might be yo-yos but without the rope.

I too have been getting constant MSN span. I used to use trillian and would get one or two a week. Since I started using Digsby I get 2 or 3 and hour. I had to turn on the option to only allow people in my list to send me messages. Seems too coincidental.

I am still unable to log on to MSN, it hangs on authenticating both at work and at home, on several other machines. Digsby has auto-installed the latest update, I have un-installed and re-installed the program, and I have also deleted my MSN account and re-added it to no avail.
I really am a big FAN of Digsby and appreciated all of your efforts. Is there currently a fix being worked to remedy this? Or is there anything else I might try?

I like digsby alot, better than miranda or any other im clients. But I have not ever been able to login to msn through digsby. Is this a known issue? Is there some settings I could check besides host & port?

o.o looks like they’re down again. I can’t login into msn from anywhere, I can only do so via a proxy.
