 Age of accounts is irrelevant, these errors happen before the server knows
 anything about which account is connecting.

 > Some attempts:
 {{{
 (20:24:44) gnutls/x509: Bad signature from
 DC=com,DC=microsoft,DC=corp,DC=redmond,CN=Microsoft Secure Server
 Authority on C=U.S.,ST=WA,L=Redmond,O=MSN,OU=MSN Contact
 Services,CN=*.contacts.msn.com
 (20:24:44) gnutls: Dropping further queries peer certificates because the
 chain is broken!
 }}}

 There's no error here, this is behaving correctly given the broken
 certificate chain the servers present. That's assuming you copied and
 pasted the log correctly, but you didn't because pidgin will never log
 "Dropping further queries peer certificates..." (I don't know where the
 word "queries" comes from in that, and the spacing in the previous log
 entry was wrong).

 > and now...:
 {{{
 (20:57:36) proxy: Error connecting to omega.contacts.msn.com: 443
 (Connection timed out).
 (20:57:36) proxy: Connection attempt failed: Connection timed out
 (20:57:36) msn: Operation {} failed. No response received from server.
 }}}

 This is a network problem, nothing to do with Pidgin or certificates, your
 computer simply times out establishing a connection to the relevant
 server.

 Most likely you have the wrong proxy config (or other account settings)
 for the accounts that do not work.
