Topic: [Resolved] A fix for unable to login Pidgin Yahoo IM

I thought I share with you. This as been talked about on other Linux forums. The Pidgin Yahoo log in problem can be solved one of two ways.
First way:
Edit Yahoo account, advanced tab change pager server to 66.163.181.173 save and login.
Second way:
Open ./purple/accounts.xml and change line <setting name="server" type="string">scs.msg.yahoo.com</setting> to <setting name="server" type="string">66.163.181.173</setting> save and login.
