Microsoft Messenger for Mac not adding people.

Going to keep this short and sweet. I us MSN messenger for Mac on my Imac. I tried adding someone, checking to make sure I got the email right. It didn't work. She showed up on my contact list, but wasn't online. She tried adding me on her end. I never saw anything. I'm presuming she uses a PC.

What gives?

    Sorry for the double post, but I was extremely tired when I wrote that. Let me clarify everything.

    I use MSN Messenger for Mac, the latest version. The person on the other end gave me her email (we were facebook chatting so this was all live), I tried adding it. While it said it was successful, her email address only appeared in the offline contacts despite her being online, and she said she never received an invitation on her end.

    So she tried adding me based on my email, and I didn't see an invite on my end.

    I don't know what type of MSN she uses, I didn't think to ask at the time.

    Any ideas?

    P.s. Let's assume for a moment we both got each other's email addresses typed out right.

    Thats weird. Maybe try adding her using one of the internet services like eBuddy? If its a client related issue that should be a decent work-around.

    Also give Adium a go, if that's an option.
