As title says, the msn messenger servers have been stopped (except for China), so emesene msn backend will stop working soon (or already had!)

That being said, emesene still can be useful since it can support multiple backends (such as XMPP, currently implemented through SimpleXMPP).
Even if development has been dormant for a while, the code is still there if you want to play with it (desktop Whatsapp? Facebook Chat?).
Have fun,
