Hi Colin, Yahoo support is provided by a third party plugin and wouldn't be something that would normally be supported by the support@pidgin.im mailing list (which is normally just for core Pidgin support) Coincidentally I'm one of the unfortunate authors of the FunYahoo++ plugin, so I'm able to

Hi Nadeem, Unfortunately XMPP file transfers are a little complicated and there's no short answer. There's several different ways to send a file over XMPP and it depends on the clients, and what versions of the transfer methods involved as to what method gets picked. Since you're on Windows you

2017-09-17 Thread Eion Robb
Hi Craig, Are you able to get a debug log (from the buddy list, Help->Debug Window) as that user tries to connect to the server? It sounds like some kind of connectivity problem, but the debug log should help narrow down the problem. Cheers, Eion On 15 September 2017 at 20:53, Craig Knowles

Hi Pavel, Generally SSL/TLS settings are relegated to the 'Advanced' tab when setting up an account, if they're optional at all. eg, for XMPP you have a "Connection security" dropdown with the options "Require encryption" (that's the default setting) "Use encryption if available" and "Use

There's no such thing as a MXit account any more, as MXit shut down their IM service last year. The protocol was removed from Pidgin in a recent-ish version. On 14 September 2017 at 09:53, Tinashe Shambare wrote: > Ho to use it > >

Hi Wade, That's controlled by the libnotify plugin that Ubuntu bundles with their version of Pidgin that we unfortunately don't have control over. You could try the purple-libnotify+ plugin from https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins that is apparently better for that kind of thing.

Re: Adding Buddies...

Hi Chaunda, Generally yes, you will need to know the exact username to add someone. Depending on what protocol you're using, it might have a built-in option to search for a buddy. Eg for Skype you can use the Accounts->{Your Skype account}->Search for friends... option, such as [image: Inline

Hi Suresh, First of all, you should be upgrading to version 2.12.0 of Pidgin for some important security fixes. Have you tried using the 'Windows Pidgin Options' plugin (in Tools->Plugins) to add a 'start when Windows starts' option? How did you try adding Pidgin to your windows startup

Hi Daniel, If it's an XMPP server, then you can use the "XMPP Ignore Groups" plugin that will give an option to the account to override the server-side buddy grouping. You should be able to find it on the third party plugins wiki page at https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins
