 ==== Why can't I log into MSN? ====
 You probably did not compile Pidgin with SSL support, or the SSL plugin failed to load.  The MSN protocol requires the use of SSL, which Pidgin provides by either GnuTLS or the combination of NSS and NSPR from the Mozilla project.  See [wiki:FAQssl these notes] to get SSL up and running.

-Pidgin 2.4.3 and older versions use MSNP9, an outdated version of the MSN protocol that does not support status messages or offline messaging.
-
-Pidgin 2.5.0 comes with updated MSN protocol support (MSNP15) and therefore supports these features.

-If you have an MSN-related problem with Pidgin 2.4.3 or prior, update to the latest version.
