Many people prefer to use a 3rd party client like Adium to use MSN messenger network. Microsoft client for mac sucks

The latest Microsoft client can be downloaded from
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ssenger603.dmg
I have been using Adium, as it wont login to my account for some reason, its good but lacking a few small things.
PS: I just found why it wont work

Important Make sure that your Mac OS X user account has read and write access.

Anybody can tell me how to do that?

Yahoo! Messenger is MSN-compatible so that's another option. It has video but not yet audio (so you might have to read each other's lips!)

I believe AMSN supports audio/video chat.

Is this true? Last I heard, Yahoo for mac's MSN support did not include webcam functionality?
So I can now video chat via Yahoo from an MSN account to an MSN contact? Sweet...will have to try this.
Would be nicer if my friends finally ditched MSN though.... |

For some reason, Adium doesn't import ALL of my MSN contacts. |
