Bug? Constant MSN pop-up

Post by PhilZombie »

Since installing 1.3.2b1 I keep getting the following pop-up every few minutes when logged into MSN:
Unable to add user

Unknown error (205)
Kind of annoying, obviously.

Read more about it @ http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/11126. You probably have some strange user like messenger@microsoft.com in your block list so remove it under Adium menu -> Privacy settings.

OK, I've cleared out all my blocklist entries, disabled, then re-enabled the account, and yet I still get this error message, through all the betas since my last post up to and including 1.3.2 final.

The only improvement is that I now only get the error once per login, instead of incessantly every few minutes, which is a lot better.

Do a backup of your ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0 and then delete ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/libpurple/blist.xml. This will force Adium to redownload the server stored contact lists.

Hi, I am having the same issue, I renamed the 'Adium 2.0" Application Support folder to force Adium 1.3.2 to set itself up again, after I deleted one of my contacts from the offending MSN contact list within Windows Messenger.

When Adium came to add the user that I deleted under Windows, then I gave me the Unknown error 205. Which i didn't get under the previous version.

Same problem. Zapping blicklist and blist.xml have no effect. Log says:

20:54:22: (Libpurple: msn) S: NS 000: BLP 8 AL
20:54:22: (Libpurple: msn) S: NS 000: 205 9 65

This should be fixed in 1.3.3.

If anyone is still having this problem, I found my solution to the problem here:
http://www.desertcrystal.com/blog/38-co ... -error-204

I had this message popping up on my screen for more than 6 months before I found how to fix it.
It's soo annoying so I hope this helps someone.
