I am running Windows Live messenger 8.0 and MSN Plus Live 4.01

Yesterday, I started having this problem. I can talk to people if I send them a message first, but they say I appear offline. I added my own email to my MSN and it never goes online when I click on “appear online”. I checked all my settings but no cigar. Oh, and this only happens to one of my emails. I tried a dozen other ones and they work fine. I installed an old version of MSN (5.0) and that one works fine. I also restored my computer to a week ago but nothing.

Can someone help? Thanks.
