Description Omer Akram 2010-04-12 15:59:59 UTC 
Empathy and emescene can't connect to MSN messenger protocol. Tried to retype login and password many times. Always returns "Authentication Failure" message.
A friend told me today that he experienced the same trouble on Fedora some time ago. He said that It happens when login name doesn't end with "@hotmail.com" (my login ends with "@superig.com"). He said that the problem was fixed later.

Sounds like a telepathy-butterfly issue. Please report on bugs.freedesktop.org.
