AOL got on their case about their name, so they changed it.

As for MSN, I just tested my old MSN account and it connected fine.

Settings;
Server:   messenger.hotmail.com
Port:     1863
Protocol: MSN
Username: (full email address)
Password: (your secret)

That's it. If it still doesn't work, let us know what version you are using.
