I'm having problems with pidgin. I often get the following error when trying to sign in to MSN:

SSL Certificate Error

Unable to Valifate Certificate

The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid.

Some times this will happen several times and then it will connect. Other times I just can't connect at all. Also the connection tends to drop mid conversation and the message reappears.

Yes, MSN changed the certificates.... Pidgin needs an update. You can try to exchange the certificate yourself (there are instructions at the web, just search for that error).
If I find some time, I'll try if I can change the certificate inside the PND.
