Pidgin the multi-protocol IM

the multi-protocol IM

Aargh!
I don’t know why, but it’s been 2 days and I still can’t access my Yahoo! account by using any other protocol than Yahoo!Messenger itself (or the web-messenger approach). All this time, I’m quite fond with pidgin the multi-protocol IM since I can access multiple account at the same time. But now, I only use it for my MSN and GTalk account.

Anyone can explain me what is going on?
Do Yahoo! has stopped giving support for the other products to access the system? Since I also have tried other IM application (eBuddy from my cellphone) and it doesn’t work either.

    Got it!

    Need to change the Pager Server address. I use this value at this moment and it works just fine:
    cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com

    Mike,
    If you haven’t tried to upgrade the pidgin, do so.

    I found out that Yahoo! has upgraded their server. So they now apply a new secure connection method, which isn’t supported in the earlier version of pidgin.
    I have upgraded mine to v2.5.7 and it works great!

    And about changing the Yahoo Pager Server, no need to do that part anymore.

      That worked like a charm! Thanks!
