Windows Live Messenger issue

[Fif]

I'm having an issue connecting to Windows Live Messenger. IF it connects at all it takes several tries. It comes up with "Cannot connect to server" or if it times out it comes up with some other error message. This has been going on for a month or so. Please help!

They're punishing you for not choosing WinMo.

Thats funny because after I tried it one time and got that same error, I thought the same thing.

I guess the Windows Messenger just sucks.. Probably a memory pig too.

I use it all the time with no problems at all. Don't know what you're doing wrong. I did nothing special it just worked.

Why not just use BeeJive? It works on there

For several months now, I cannot log into my Windows Live Messenger using the WLM app, with my @msn.com account. That is the default account where all my messenger contacts are and would prefer not to switch.


For the sake of experiment, I have registered another account @live.ca and the WLM app lets me sign in no problem with that. Additionally I have no issues logging in to my default @msn account with a third party app such as Instango or IM+.

I have tried everything from deleting and re-installing the application to wiping my blackberry and updating the firmware. The message appears regardless if I am using the BIS or wi-fi.

When I try to sign in with WLM app downloaded from Blackberry site, I get a "server busy, try again later" message consistantly now for about 10 weeks.

I have signed in on a PC (just to see what happens) and then tried signing in using Blackberry app. Seconds after I click connect on blackberry, I see the PC notification which advises that I have 'signed in from another computer'. But on Blackberry I still just get the server busy message.

Now running Bold OS4.6.0.216 (my third OS update since this problem started) on Rogers BIS in Canada.

I'm just looking for ideas as to what else I can try. I think I have tried just about everything but cannot get it to work. I was beginning to think it was account related, but I can sign in using other software. Suggestions are appreciated.

Works fine for me everytime... I have full bars 80% of the time though... When I go into my basement, or leave it under my pillow, I get the cannot contact server and other errors. I think its a reception thing..

I wonder if that's true about the reception issue. I have been having issues connecting too just like the poster above. It used to work fine now it never connects. Pretty stupid, but hopefully it's a reception issue. That's the best response I've read yet.

OK guys, this is what I tried recently to get this working again. I typed my complete hotmail address in the login section and chose 'Other' in the drop down menu. That's all I did and it worked.

I can't connect with the MSM IM client but my msn thru BeeJive does.
