When you have problems logging onto Messenger, you can select Help|Service Status in your desktop clients and go the MSN Messenger Service Status page and you are supposed to get the status of the service to see if you are having a problem or if it is their servers.
Well, that is the theory. The service had problems late Tuesday yet the service status page gleeflully said "All systems are stable and running" all day long. :evil: Instead, you should bookmark Jonathan Kay's Messenger Resources page. In addition to lots of detailed info about Messenger, he will keep you up to date on the actual status of the servers. :way to go: Jonathan is a fellow Microsoft MVP that specializes in supporting Messenger. I've now bookmarked his page on both my PC and Pocket PC.
