hmm well that error doesnt show up in the debug log ... sadly;

i have this error
20:29:11: Called write with no write_tag <SourceInfo 0x16a96b20: Socket 0x16ab5110: fd 11; timer_tag 0; read_tag 59; write_tag 0>

and

it skips step 5 .. not sure if thats an issue

in fact farther down it has this
20:29:14: (Libpurple: msn) Got the contact list!

but still doesnt complete the connection ..

later it says
20:29:14: (Libpurple: msn) Got the Address Book!

final lines say

20:34:09: (Libpurple: soap) session cleanup timeout
20:39:09: (Libpurple: soap) session cleanup timeout

then i have to cancel connect - and reconnect to get connection

thanks

i installed the new msn client (beta) ick - and cleaned up the contacts... still a mess and msn wouldnt delete contacts - so after reading up on that - i deleted a few plist files for msn - and that cleared that up... i verified that both msn and adium (mac both) are correct now for contacts.. i even deleted adium caches to ensure it went and retrieved the correct contact list... still fails to fully connect -- have to cancel and reconnect every time.
using 1.3.10 (01-22-2010)

any one know when 1.4 is releasing?

No ETA.

i tried the 1.4 latest beta too - no change still won't connect on 1st try.

the latest update from about a week ago seems to have finally fixed the issue -- only took 4 years...

Right now it won't log into my MSN either; it's stuck at "Sending Cookie (100%)"........ It is not the first time it happened. Any ideas?

I'm using Pidgin on my PC at work and they had the same issue with MSN, problems with SSL certificates.
They updated their libs last week and it fixed the problem, and also they allowed multiple connections to the same MSN account at the same time!

So probably by updating to the same build would fix this!
