Package: pidgin
Version: 2.4.3-4lenny5
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When connecting to MSN, Pidgin displays this error message: "Our
protocol is not supported by the server." I get this message with the
"Use HTTP method" box both checked and unchecked.
It seems Microsoft has updated their MSN protocol, rendering several
older clients useless. Unfortunately, this includes the version of
pidgin in Lenny.
I had a similar issue with Adium, but that was solved by an upgrade to
a more recent version.
