Well, that's weird. You seem to be authenticated for the following sites:
* http://Passport.NET/tb
* messengersecure.live.com
* storage.live.com
but not:
* messengerclear.live.com
* messenger.msn.com
* contacts.msn.com
* spaces.live.com
* livecontacts.live.com
Unfortunately, we need at least messengerclear.live.com (for IM) and
contacts.msn.com (for the Address Book) to login. Basically, looking at
what's allowed and what Pidgin supports, the only thing you could do is
send an offline IM.
I really don't know how to fix that, and searching for the error code
(0x800488fb or 0x800434c0) doesn't really turn up anything.
What might work is to try logging in (with PURPLE_UNSAFE_DEBUG set), find
the first `<psf:flowurl>` and go to the URL in it. Maybe it will show some
sort of reason if you login there.
