Invalid username

[Asbjörn]

Hi,
I've been using Pidgin (and Gaim before that) for years, using the 
username s_p_a_m_m_e_d_0001 at hotmail.com for my MSN account. The hotmail 
account works fine, but lately Pidgin tells me that 
s_p_a_m_m_e_d_0001 at hotmail.com has been shut down and that the username 
is invalid.

Why is that, and what can I do, except for using another mail address?

I'm running Windows XP 5.3 with service pack 3 and Pidgin 2.4.3.

Regards,
Asbjörn
