Messages Don't Actually get Sent

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a new Visual Studio C# .NET Console Application
2. Reference a MSNPSharp DLL 
3. Use the code given at http://petio.org/2010/06/17/msnp.html.  
4. The program will attempt to log in with Credentials("USERNAME", "PASSWORD"), 
replace these with a real account's credentials.
5. The program will attempt to send a message to 
ContactList.GetContact("TARGET-USERNAME"), replace this with an account you  
can listen for messages on.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the program to log on to USERNAME and then send a message to 
TARGET-USERNAME with the text "Hiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
Instead, the program logs on to USERNAME as expected, but I don't get a message 
sent to me at TARGET-USERNAME.  

What version of the product are you using? (MSNPSharp, OS, Mono etc.)

I tried this with MSNPSharp versions 3.1.2 Beta, 3.0.2, as well as latest SVN 
(revision 1616).  Same results.
Operating system is Windows 7 Enterprise.
Compiled using Visual Studio 2010 Premium, as a Visual Studio C# .NET Console 
Application.

Is your code check out from SVN or download from our download site?

I tried both.

Please provide any additional information below:

Here's the output of the program:
<pre>
---- Event ConnectionEstablished ----
Connected to 192.168.12.133:53247
---- Event ConnectionEstablished ----
Connected to 192.168.12.133:53248
---- Event SignedIn ----
Signed in as todstevenson@hotmail.com
Sending message to : notfed@gmail.com
Target Status: Offline
---- Event OIMSendCompleted ----
Message sent to notfed@gmail.com
---- Event SignedOff ----
Signed off from todstevenson@hotmail.com. Reason: None.
Done!
</pre>

Why does it think Target status is Offline?  He's not offline, I'm logged into 
MSN as the Target.  I can also see a "User Blahblah Signed In" popup balloon 
when this program logs in and out, so I know it's successfully logging in.

I'm not sure if i'm right but you send an Offline Instant Message.
Why don't you set up a conversation with Target and send a normal message 
through the conversation?

I'm not sure how to start a conversation, since it fails since it thinks I'm 
offline.

Is it coming online when you try this (you can check with another messenger)?

static void SignedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            handler = sender as NSMessageHandler;
            Console.WriteLine("---- Event SignedIn ---- ");
            Console.WriteLine("Signed in as " + handler.Credentials.Account);
            messenger.Owner.Status = PresenceStatus.Online; // this is the change
            Thread.Sleep(5000);
            signedinevent.Set();
        }

If it is, you can create a new conversation and invite the target and start 
sending messages.

Nope that didn't change anything. That sets the owner's status to online.  The 
problem is it thinks the *message recipient* is offline.

Ah i see. Are both the sender as the receiver on the allowed list? if not you 
can't see the online status and the messages are not send.

Well, I'm not sure what an AllowedList is, but for messenger.Owner and for the 
recipient Contact:
  Owner.OnAllowedList = False
  Recipient.OnAllowedList = True

Try to switch the accounts.
So log into MSN with todstevenson@hotmail.com and let your code send with 
notfed@gmail.com

Thanks, freakysmoker.   I think I have the problem fixed.
I realized I had myself blocked.  Thus I appeared offline.  I don't know WHY I 
had myself blocked, but I did.
