--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Since upgrading to 2.7.5, I haven't been able to successfully connect to
 MSN or Yahoo's messenger service.  Both are presenting different issues,
 and I've tried alternate ports/servers, none of which are working.

 '''For MSN:'''

 The current settings are:

 Server: messenger.hotmail.com
 Port: 80
 Use HTTP Method CHECKED (unchecked presents same issue)
 HTTP Method Server: gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
 Show custom smileys CHECKED

 Whenever I try to connect, it immediately errors with a message stating,
 "MSN Error: Server Unavailable."  I've checked through Meebo just to test
 the connection, and it does connect to the server.

 '''For YIM:'''

 The current settings are:

 Pager port: 443 (also checked using other ports as well)
 File transfer server: 66.163.181.106
 File transfer port: 80
 Chat room locale: us
 Encoding: UTF-8
 Use account proxy for HTTP and HTTPS connections CHECKED

 Whenever I try to connect to it, I continuously receive a "Server closed
 the connection" error.  This has been happening for a couple of days now,
 and has also been tested through Meebo, verifying it can connect to the
 server.
