I have the same problem right now.
I cannot connect to my only MSN account.  I get the error:
Could not connect to MSN HTTPS server (bad cookies).

I enabled debuging and here's what I got (I tampered with what I pasted 
to remove any potential sensitive information about my account) :

I hope this helps us figure out what is wrong.
Thank you.
