Adium Messenger Reviver
As there’s been some requests for this, I put together a simple dmg which lets you copy the newly patched libpurple to the correct Adium (/Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Frameworks/libpurple.framework/Versions/Current) folder. Hopefully Adium is updated soon so this won’t be needed.
Update: In addition to the above, due to changes on the Messenger servers, you will now need to make a small adjustment to make Adium work. Choose the Adium menu, choose Preferences, double-click the MSN account, choose the Options category and change the Login Server to be msn.messengergeek.com and click OK. This should be included in a future Adium Reviver version.
The post, Most third-party Messenger clients have gone offline temporarily has more info about the change made.
Additionally, you can also revive the official Messenger:mac client.
Known issues
- If you receive a message that the “libpurple folder” requires an administrator password, you probably don’t have Adium or the right version of Adium installed.
- On some accounts you might not be able to see your full contact list, this should soon be resolved in other clients and hopefully fixed in Adium too.

I installed this reviver, and Adium worked for a day. Now, I’m getting the error message, “Error: Connection refused.” Any idea what’s happening?
Hi 🙂
Well I’m working on an older Mac (10.5.9 Intel) with Adium 1.4.5
Since about 2 months I’m trying to log in to Adium and it always shows “MSN Buddy-List is temp. not available. I’ve been searching for days now, and finally came to your blog.
I do have the problem, that on I do not have an Adium Folder. I’m missing “/Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Frameworks/libpurple.framework/Versions/Current”
If I go to Applications, it shows only Adium.app but no folder. I have also searched my Mac for the Libpurple folder, but there is no folder. If I download yours, it says “libpurple could not have been found, there is no folder libpurple”.
So I deleted everything and re-installed it, but still the same problem 😦
i just installef also this adium reviver , i succeed to connect thanks but my buddies dont get my messages and i don’t receive anything …strange …is there something else to do ?
