Comment (by rubin):

 Hi,

 I can confirm this issue. It does not matter if I'm behind my company's
 firewall using a socks or http proxy or at home using a regular nat
 connection. What happens is:


  * Connect to MSN fine, everything green and happy
  * Message some people, who respond normally

   (random amount of time passes)

  * Type a message to someone, wait approx. 2 minutes..
  * See messages like: "Message could not be sent because a connection
 error occurred".
  * See a whole stream of messages like above because you were typing a
 lot..


 This problem has been bugging me on and off for about a year now; To the
 end-user it is not really explainable and he/she will then switch back to
 microsoft's msn messenger thingie. I've heard it said that this could have
 to do with protocol changes at ms, but this is not clear to me; how can i
 assist in debugging this?

 Imho we should eradicate this bug to extinction once and for all ;-)
