is 4.0.1 the most recent msn available for mac? I keep getting this spam saying to use msn photoswap and people saying that I'm using an old version (they're pc I'm mac)... what else can I use that handles msn accounts?

Proteus is the best

There's also Gaim:

does the free version of proteus have any nags or crippled features?

supports more technology (photos, more stable file sharing — although not quite iChat or Skype-ish) and the interface is a bit less cluttered, if chunky.
Try to convert your people to AIM is my advice.

lots of threads about this im pretty sure, but Adium is the best :P

None of them work with file transfer... at least that's been my experience. iChat works well, but Adium, Proteus and Fire have never worked for me.

I think Protues rules - but M$ limits the file transfer speed. It does it, but at about 2kbps. I think something to do with Gaim ..

file transfers work with all of those apps. I assume it probably has something to do with a firewall/router.
once you do get that working, Adium probably has the worse file transfer out of them all. cannot see the status of transfers. apart from that, its great!
