Comment (by landroni):

 Thank you for the prompt response. I entered the settings you suggested.
 Saved and then restarted Pidgin. MSN connection refuses to work, while
 Google Chat functions as expected.

 What bothers me is that even http://webmessenger.msn.com/ fails. Actually,
 I manage to connect to it, but at the next refresh it disconnects me
 (this, using Opera, but "masking as firefox"). Wild guess: does MS ban
 non-windows systems connecting to their MSN protocol?

 But, more important, is there anything else I could try to make Pidgin
 function on MSN?
