Escargot services are moving to m1.escargot.chat and as such you'll need to prepare your client.
Important: If your password is saved in your client, you will need to uncheck save, retype it, and check save again, otherwise it will often not authenticate correctly after the server change.

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

Add the following lines at the end:
