OK, it seems that the last MSN servers are finally being shutdown.
MSN stopped working for me in Pidgin today.

So I guess it's time to remove Windows Live from Pidgin, Empathy and Online Accounts.
Unless there's a way to make it work again (through Skype servers or something, but it's probably not possible and not worth the effort).

  Hello all. I'm trying to setup my Windows Live account (@outlook.com)
  in Empathy. It used to work OK on Ubuntu 12.04.4 64 bits. However, in
  14.04 it doesn't works. When I add an account, it asks me for my
  username and password, I give it permissions to access my data, and
  the account is shown OK on the "Online accounts" window. However, when
  I go Online, Empathy shows a wheel in the middle, just turning around,
  but nothing else happens. After a while, it gives me a red error
  message "xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx Network error"

  I have the debug in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/8vQdM4Pg

  Thanks!
