Yes, I know they did, and I took the necessary steps to adapt to the  
changes:
sudo gedit  
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/service/description/SingleSignOn/RequestMultipleSecurityTokens.py

Look for this line:
CONTACTS = ("contacts.msn.com",  
"?fs=1&id=24000&kv=7&rn=93S9SWWw&tw=0&ver=2.1.6000.1")

Replace it with this line:
CONTACTS = ("contacts.msn.com", "MBI")

I also uninstalled telepathy-butterfly

This worked for a while. After a while it stopped working again, but I  
have solved it now. I THINK the reason was that I upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 →  
Ubuntu 10.10. Maybe the upgrade put telepathy-butterfly back again,  
because when I once again removed it, and I think I restarted Ubuntu or at  
leased logged out and then logged in again, I get connected to MSN without  
any problems.

So I would consider this problem solved now. Thanks for your input!
