I am sure there are several people having this problem with pidgin not being able to connect to MSN.

I have seen many solutions but I think this one is by far the easiest one to use.

1. Download this omega.contacts.msn.com certificate

2. In Pidgin, go to Tools > Certificates and remove the existing "omega.contacts.msn.com" certificate. Then select "Add" and add the certificate downloaded under step 1 and when prompted to enter the hostname, enter: "omega.contacts.msn.com":

Now click OK and that's it!

Here are some other solutions that I didn't think were as easy to use.
