How to setup MSN/WLM in Digsby

To be able to chat with your friends on MSN/WLM through Digsby, you will have to add MSN/WLM as an IM account.

Fire up Digsby and on top of your buddy list window, select Digsby - My Accounts....
In the top right corner you'll find the Add IM account button. Click it and choose MSN.
Type in the email address that you use on MSN/WLM and your corresponding MSN/WLM password (or click New user to sign-up for a new MSN/WLM account]) and then choose a display name. The display name is what your friends on MSN/WLM will see as your name in their buddy list.
Decide if you want to auto-login to this MSN/WLM account when starting Digsby and then click the OK button.
Close the Digsby Preferences window

Make sure you are connected with your MSN/WLM account. Either go to Digsby - My Accounts and make sure the MSN/WLM account is checked in the list or find the service in the buddy list (you might have to click a horizontal bar with two arrows to see it).

Or:
Once connected, you should see your online MSN/WLM friends in the buddy list under the "Contacts" group if you haven't grouped them. Double-click one of them and start chatting!

Suddenly MSN/WLM stopped working
There may be many reasons for this. Retry every now and then for half an hour and see if it comes back. Also, try to re-enter your login information. If it still fails, check the digsby blog for any updates or see if MSN/WLM actually works with the official client. Lastly, check the official forums or come to the #digsby IRC channel for more help.
MSN/WLM Hangs on loading contact list
Disable the AVG antivirus "im shield". This Should Now Work, a fix for this problem should be released soon so you dont have to disable it in the next build. </ol>
