Title:
  MSN accounts "freeze" on network interruption.

Status in “telepathy-butterfly” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  When an MSN account is signed on, and the network connection is
  interrupted, even very briefly, even by such things as switching from
  a wired to a wireless connection, the account completely freezes.  It
  receives no further contact updates, it allows no incoming or outgoing
  messages, although it will pretend that it is sending them.  Any
  contacts who were online at the time of the interruption remain
  visible, even if the account in question is deleted.  The only way I
  have found to clear the blockage is to delete the account, shut down
  Empathy, and then re-add the account.  Needless to say, having to do
  this every time there is a *minor* network service interruption of any
  kind is a serious annoyance.
