As of March 12th 2015, the last of the servers accepting sign-ins from Messenger:Mac have gone offline. To use the Messenger service on the Mac, you will need to use Skype, the web-based Outlook.com client, or Windows Live Messenger 2012 in a Windows virtual machine.

The service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet. As the underlying problem is similar to the issues from earlier this week, using the same technique used by the third-party clients and for Windows Live Messenger 2009, we can revive Messenger:mac.

I get that they are both Microsoft products, but I don't suppose I am the first person to ever convert over so maybe someone has experienced the same issues as me.Both the products work on my Windows based machine so I thought some Mac experts may have some thoughts of things to try.Thanks anyway.

a proxy server, you should double-check that the information you have set up in the account setting's "Proxy" tab is correct. You should ask your network administrator for the information if you are unsure what to provide. If you're on a home network, you are probably not behind a proxy server. Check local firewall settings If you are running a service such as LittleSnitch which requires you to allow applications to connect to the internet, you should double-check the settings for Adium to make sure it is able to do so. This is often the case when adding a new service to Adium with a firewall running. Restoring default connection settings If you are having issues connecting to a service, try the following to restore the default connection settings: Open the Accounts preferences. Double-click on the account which is having problems and go to the "Options" tab. Delete the "login server" and "port" information, and hit OK. This will restore the server and port to the default setting. If you are still unable to connect, you can try the Troubleshooting tips or see the below explanation for a particular error. Common disconnection errors "Socket is not connected" This occurs when the server you're trying to connect to is offline, or the port you connecting on is blocked. This is generally a temporary issue, but it may also be a firewall. If you think you are not behind a firewall, you might be limited by your internet service provider. For AIM, you can try changing the port Adium connects to in the Accounts preferences to "80". The AIM server listens on every port, and since port 80 is unlikely to be blocked, you will probably be able to get online if it is a firewall issue. "Error resolving…" The login server the account is set to connect to could not be resolved. This typically means that your DNS server is having temporary issues, and is a problem you cannot correct. This may also be your proxy server having issues or the login server set incorrectly, see the above steps to try and correct this. "Incorrect username or password" This means the username and password combination that you log in with is invalid. For all services but AIM, there is not a separate error message for an invalid username. You should double-check your username as well as your password, and try again. Occasionally, servers will report your login information as invalid when it isn't. If this is the case, it's likely a temporary issue which you will have to wait to correct itself. Temporary workaround for MSN server problems Turning HTTP connection on and off Adium allows you to co
