I’m sure some of you all ready know this. However just in case I thought I’d pass it along. I went into trillian and this is what it said about MSN mess
Hi Folks,
As many you have read recently, MSN has decided to no longer support older versions of their clients. Within their announcement, they mention that some third party applications may be affected. Trillian Pro 2.0, which is currently in beta, supports the latest and greatest MSN protocols. The free version of Trillian will be updated in time to reflect the new protocol as well. If we hear anything from Microsoft directly, or find out any more information, we will be sure to let you know first.
Thank you all for your support!
Hope this helps out some people.
Take care Shell
Well I would assume it wll be updated before September 24th as this is when the Yahoo protocol Trillian uses stops being supported. It would make sense to update both at the same time.

That announcements does a great job of explaining the protocol that it will be necessary for all users, individuals and third party client users alike, to upgrade to but it doesn’t really distinguish the other issue that affects only third party client users. The issue of a contractual agreement between third party clients and Microsoft in order for third parties to continue to connect to MSN after October 15th… One can only hope that Trillian and Microsoft can come to an agreement and that if the other major IM clients (Yahoo and ICQ) go the same route that the same can be said of those agreements… As noted elesewhere, Microsoft has hinted at monetary compensation and that could spell trouble as it would only be logical that all the IM clients would want the same…
I agree with Lana…there are more issues than just the protocol used to connect. BTW, any and all announcements/discussion about this were removed from the official website, including the one quoted.
Yes, so far so good… Here’s hoping it holds past the bewitching hour, as it is sometimes called… didn’t yahoo connectivity take a dive after the deadline that they had set had past?
That’s funny, it’s Thursday the 16th, and I just connected to MSN via Trillian right now. Working fine here!
hmmm, mine STILL won’t connect…..it tries to and fails miserably. I’m gonna have to download MSN now just so I can use it, just like I did with yahoo…….hell might as well get rid of trillian at this point if I can’t use it for my main chat programs that I use daily.
Diztroyer, don’t give up, but please do report what version of Trillian you are using and your OS in this thread.

My msn is working just fine too, I’m on Tr v2.0. Never noticed any downtime at all, the only patch I’ve needed in the last couple of weeks is the one for YIM.
Was hoping that additional info would follow this article but since it hasn’t I thought I’d share what little was said on the issue. The jabber Inc. shut out is interesting, if nothing else
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1348183,00.aspLana, the discussion has been continued in this topic: Status of MSN Messenger Third-Party Blocks. I’ve been trying to keep it up-to-date with the latest connectivity info. I’ll add Jabber to the list of “broken” connections.
