MSN not working with @mac.com anymore!

mala · #1 September 19th, 2007, 06:26 AM

Hi,

I can't login to MSN using my @mac.com address anymore. I get a message telling me that the .NET-service has been changed and it affects my account. Then I get directed to a site to CHANGE my windows live ID!! I've used my @mac.com address in MSN for years and it's an established address for me and now they claim I have to change it??? What's happening herè? Anyone else suffering from this?

Exact same problem here. Only I try to change it to gmail (and also hotmail to test) address, and it fails every time!

Exact same problem here. Only everytime I attempt to change the login ID (to both gmail and a hotmail one) it fails. All my work contacts are on msn - this is very inconvenient.

Use Adium, not getting those errors and I have read about someone else getting it too, I think the MSN Messenger message might be a bot making people sign into a dodgy site and they could be gathering people usernames and passwords

Hmm, are you saying that if I use Adium for MSN messaging this problem will go away?

Just tried again to log in and now all of a sudden it works again of some reason and I haven't done anything...hmm this is strange.
