It does not support offline messages.
Sometimes I login to my account, click on a friend and then it logs me out.
It's the worst program on my Mac.

Either way, Microsoft Messenger gets a lot of the same kind of flak that AOL Instant Messenger gets. I presume a lot of it has to do with the fact that the word "Microsoft" is in the name, which apparently connotes that the product is entirely un-Mac and, therefore, eeevil.
The fact of the matter is that Microsoft Messenger is as capable as just about any other messenger out there.
A lot of people don't remember how broken MSN Messenger was just a few years ago. There was no video, no audio, barely any features at all, which opened the door for some competition from sources like aMSN, Mercury Messenger and Mac Messenger.
Since then, though, Microsoft has turned this little train around and made something that is actually usable. The fact that Microsoft seems to be committed to developing it further, such as in the recent addition of video and Yahoo Messenger interoperability, tends to make me look favorably on it -- even if it IS made by Microsoft.
Do I use it much? No, but that has nothing to do with my dislike of it, but simply due to the fact that I know very few people that actually use the network for communications.

...no release notes. That's lame.

@D9: It can be frustrating that the Windows version is more robust than the Mac version, but that's to be expected when the company that makes the Mac version of Microsoft Messenger also makes Windows. The same could be said vice versa -- the Mac version of iTunes, Safari and so forth were more robust and better integrated into the OS than the versions initially released for Windows. This is no longer entirely the case, but one can hope that eventually the Mac and Windows versions of Messenger will also achieve parity.

I've switched to Adium, which is not perfect either, but still much more customizable and feature-rich than Microsoft Messenger for Mac.

It's misinformation as this messenger DOES NOT RUN ON POWER PC based comps and only on Intel based Macs

This new beta gives me the following message:
"Sign in failed because the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not exist. If you have forgotten your password, choose Help Topics from the Help menu."
I can even login in the live.com site with this same account, no problem there.
I don't understand.
A few days ago I was using MSN and it went really well.
Then it won't log my account in!
Not that the service is unavailable or my password is wrong or anything, it just keeps playing the signing in animation and after a while, it goes back to how it looks like when you first start it up.
And what's really bugging me is that it's only happening to my account! It logs other people's accounts perfectly! And other services like messenger for windows and amsn logs me in perfectly! I tried everything! I switched passwords, and cleared account history, but it still doesn't work!
Any solutions to this? I can use aMsn but it's really laggy cos I got a lot of contacts

Reinstall it.
Problem persist, go to security -> Firewall -> And play around with that, 'set access' and 'allow all' granting messenger access.
I've downloaded the Messenger 7.0.1 but unfortunately I can't see any display picture!!
and I can't change my picture as well, as when you chose the picture you want then klick OK it doesn't response!!
Any solution guys?
Thanks
