Same here. Today, Mercury, aMSN, Microsoft Messenger, and others work fine with my MSN account. Adium and Palringo not.

Looking for solution.

That's it, thanks! I've downgraded to 1.3.1 for now and can at least work with Adium until there's a solution. Thanks GusGus!

Getting the same here. Started maybe 1 hour ago or so. I tried the MSN Client and it goes right in.

Same here, unable to login in 1.3.2, but now I'm logged in 1.3.2.
Strangely, some friends that claims they are in 1.3.2 and/or Pidgin says they are connected.

Cheers!

Well I can login but my contact list is not complete ! It says something about contact synchronisation and some contacts are as offline even if they are online in reality ....
