Comment (by nosnilmot):

 "Merge MSNP14 Branch" is our target milestone for when we merge the new
 protocol support code into mainline. You can see our milestones on our
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/roadmap Roadmap]

 You are correct that Pidgin currently uses an older version of the MSN
 protocol (MSNP9), and I suppose it is possible that your corporate
 firewall is blocking this.

 However, the error code reported (10036) is apparently for "Operation now
 in progress.", which I would not expect to see in response to an external
 firewall blocking a connection.

 Software firewalls are mysterious beasts, and often block/permit the same
 ports differently depending on the application trying to establish the
 connection, or otherwise interfere with connections in strange ways. Is
 there any chance you can reproduce this on a PC in the same location that
 doesn't even have a software firewall installed? (yes, some software
 firewalls interfere even when not set to start).
