Escargot

Escargot is a custom server that makes old versions of MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger work again.

Free Open Source
Windows

Escargot is a custom-written server built to recreate the older MSN Messenger server architecture, used back when Microsoft still had the servers running. The code to recreate the servers works for versions of MSN up to 8.5, but (as of writing) support for WLM 2009 is not out yet but is close to being wrapped up and released to the public, and 2011/2012 support hasn't been started on yet, although we anticipate that will be a beast to support. However, all of the code for the server and other services and components that power Escargot is fully open source on GitLab, so feel free to contribute!... More Info »
