After launching empathy, it can't even connect to MSN network, it displays: "network error" and an "edit account" button. First, I think it's needless to show that button since editing MSN information seems not to help to connect. Also, other IM client (pidgin) can connect without any problem, so I don't think it's really a "network error" (anyway: just saying "network error" can't help me to figure out what kind of network error is it, some TCP/IP problem, or my account info are wrong, or protocol fault etc etc - though since the really same account works in pidgin in the same machine, I can't think it's a fault of network or me). It seems it's always the case: empathy = no MSN, from the first moment of launch it, and every time I try it again (with enabling/disabling the account or just simply close that "network error" reporting), empathy reports again that "network error".

I was told at launchpad that it would be nice to report this problem of mine here too, so I did. Thanks!
