Comment(by vvarder):

 I can confirm this happens to me, and it has been far more frequent since
 I switched to AT&T Uverse from Comcast, although this has happened to me
 for a long time.  I'm currently using 2.5.2 on Ubuntu 8.10, but have seen
 the issue dating back to 2.4.x on Ubuntu and OpenSuSE.  There is no rhyme
 or reason that I can see as to WHO it effects when sending, as sometimes
 it will go through to one user and not another, and vice versa.

 Bascially, for me, if the problem occurs, it will be one minute EXACTLY
 (to the second) before I get the "Message may have not been sent because a
 timeout occurred", then in approximately 15 minutes (within an error
 margin of about a minute) I get "Message could not be sent because a
 connection error occurred" - However, I've noticed that more often than
 not it actually resends successfully at the 15 minute mark, making for
 some confusing conversations, especially when I've already gotten mad and
 emailed or used another form of IM (if available).

 I have a debug log but there aren't any specific errors, other than:[[BR]]
 '''(13:56:49) msn: servconn 003 read error,len: -1, errno: 110, error:
 Connection timed out[[BR]]
 (13:56:49) msn: Connection error from Switchboard server (207.46.26.192):
 Reading error[[BR]]
 (13:56:53) dns: Wait for DNS child 25983 failed: No child
 processes[[BR]]'''
 I can supply the whole debug log if necessary, but I'll have to scrub it a
 bit since there are many "updating buddy status for <email address>"
 messages peppered throughout.  Let me know if that would be useful in
 debugging.

 Normally I log in with 2 MSN accounts, 1 AIM, 1 Yahoo and 1 Gmail/Jabber,
 but I was only logged into 1 MSN account to gather a cleaner log.
