Thanks for your message, Mark.
Yes, after creating the account as MSN, entering my email address, and
entering my password, I save the account.
The Pidgin buddy list appears to be connecting, then issues the
following message.
"Unable to authenticate: Authentication Failure"
OK ==== I tried it again and it appears to be working. My apologies
for wasting your time. I promise that I tried to recreate and enter
the password several times before requesting support.
Thanks for your help. It appears to be working.
