Problems Connecting MSN with empathy

Without uninstalling anything, you can fix this by changing a line in the file /usr/share/pyshared/papyon/service/description/AB/__init__.py.

Edit it as root by running:

sudo -H gedit /usr/share/pyshared/papyon/service/description/AB/__init__.py

Change line 23 from this:

url = "http://contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"

To this:

url = "https://local-bay.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"

Or to this:

url = "https://local-sn.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"

Reboot and test it, it's working for me!

sudo apt-get remove telepathy-butterfly

Remove your MSN account and add it again, it worked for me.

Just open the terminal and enter this command:

sudo apt-get install msn-pecan

Then after it finishes installing, choose msn-pecan for your email instead of MSN messenger and it will work.
