Hi,

Like many of you, i also have the "password incorrect" issue for
several weeks now. I've tried everything mentioned in the general
troubleshooting tips, including the keychain access and it still
doesn't work.

Needles to say i'm not having a problem on the same machine with same
router configuration with third party utilities like aMSN, so it's
clearly a Microsoft issue and not proxy, router, incorrect password
etc. I also created a new account and that didn't work either.

Will you be so kind to try and solve this issue since so many of us
are experiencing it ?

Best Regards

yes, to clarify, ineed the "Sign in failed because the password is incorrect
or the sign-in name does not exist" issue is a real pain and I've been
scouring the net for a fix.  I'm sure in response to this email you'll
receive Rebecca Harriss's lengthy troubleshooting guide in a follow up post.  
Although its much appreciated it does not seem to fix the issue.  I simply
get the feeling that the Mac Messenger app tried to do too much in having the
ability to both connect to MSN and OCS.  Perhaps this functionality should
have been broken apart in seperate releases... it would have forced the OCS
integration to be a little more robust.

Please enable logging (directions below) and send me the log directly so we
can investigate.

Enabling/Disabling Messenger Logs for Messenger 7:
Launch Messenger
Messenger | Preferences | General tab
Under the Logging section check the checkbox ³Save a log . . .² to enable
logging
Under the Logging section uncheck the checkbox ³Save a log . . .² to disable
logging

Locating Messenger Logs: Messenger logs are located in your ~/Documents
folder and the file name is Microsoft Messenger.log

Deleting Messenger Logs: Quit Messenger
Move the log named Microsoft Messenger.log to the trash and empty it

Notes about Messenger Logs: Enabling logs saves a file containing personal
information to ~/Documents. Anyone with access to this directory can open
this file.
They are not automatically deleted
They will continue to grow in size if you don't delete them from time to
time or disable logging
Deleting your log without disabling logging will create a new log on launch
of Messenger
Deleting your com.microsoft.messenger.plist file (preference file) will
clear out any settings for logging. You will have to re-enable the logging
again if you want to get a Messenger log file

Thanks,
Rebecca
