 I've just started using Pidgin, and I'm not sure if I'm doing this
 correctly. I want to use Pidgin as an IM instead of what I was previously
 using (Windows Live Messenger), and as such I need to assign my hotmail
 address to it. I assume that when managing my accounts, I need to set my
 "username" as the email address (which is, in this case, hotmail), having
 set the protocol as "msn". I have done this, and for the password I have
 entered the same password I would use to sign in were I using Windows Live
 Messenger, but at the bottom of the main screen, I get the message
 "-------- at hotmail.co.uk disconnected. Connection error from notification
 server: Windows socket error #10065"

 Thanks
 Tom
