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.
Choose your client
MSN 1.0 - 4.6
The fastest way is to download the registry update, open it, click Yes. You can find more detailed information with screenshots here.
MSN 4.7, 5.0 - 2009
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, by first opening Notepad as administrator (right click on Notepad, click Run as Administrator) and then opening the file to edit.
Update the following lines at the end:
server = m1.escargot.chat configserver = escargot.chat
Those lines should look how they appear in this example:
Important: If using 2009, edit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Contacts\wlmcomm.exe-escargot.ini
and add these lines as well.
