Escargot services are moving to m1.escargot.chat and as such you'll need to prepare your client.

The fastest way is to download the registry update, open it, click Yes. You can find more detailed information with screenshots here.

Edit the file msnmsgr.exe-escargot.ini present on

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSN Messenger\ (MSN 4.7-7.5) 
or 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger

Note: In some cases you will need to edit this as administrator.

Add the following lines at the end:

server = m1.escargot.chat
configserver = escargot.chat

Important: If using 2009, edit

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Contacts\wlmcomm.exe-escargot.ini

and add these lines as well.
