A comment on the bug report on the pidgin website suggests that this is a server-side issue.

Seems like there is a lot of confirmations but I will add this anyway: I tried with an old version on Vista this morning and then updated and it doesn't work there.

By installing msn-pecan, and by selecting it from the accounts place (instead of MSN), everything works.

The msn-pecan WLM workaround fails for me, with unknown error code 403.

There is no need to further confirm this issue. The people that need to know are aware and preparing a fix. Further, this is not the proper place to discuss workarounds.

This bug seems to be fixed on its own. The pidgin devs were right- seems like it really was an MSN server outage.

[Bug 316252] Re: Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book
AFAIK, from googling the internet, this was caused by temporary outage of the latest protocol version (15) on MS servers. MSN-pecan uses v.14; older pidgins use, obviously, older msn versions as well. While newest official clients use the newest version, they have a fallback feature enabled to fall back to older protocol. -- Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is valid! From rekkanoryo (Pidgin developed): We initially thought this was a server-side issue; now we know it is a server-side change that requires the client to send additional data that we do not currently send.
