Hi All! AIM Prob
While setting up pidgin, I've come across an error while trying to add my AIM account. The error reads:Received unexpected response from http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession: useTLS=1 is not allowed for non secure requests. I've tried going to the link but it doesn't go anywhere. Any help on how to deal with this, would be great. Thanks jamey ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Hi All I can't get Pidgin to sign into Yahoo
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone I can't get pidgin to sign into Yahoo. I also need advice about the 'Off the Record' add on. I am a judicial activist and writer for a number of dissident journals and need a certain amount of security. I was hoping to use pidgin to instant message with sources and others where sensitive material needed to be discussed. MSN messenger seems to work fine on pidgin for me but yahoo as I said will not sign in. In the debug window I get the following message: (11:24:46) *util:* Writing file prefs.xml to directory C:\Documents and Settings\Phillip Reynes\Application Data\.purple (11:24:46) *util:* Writing file C:\Documents and Settings\Phillip Reynes\Application Data\.purple\prefs.xml I'm not very savvy technically and do not have a clue as to what this means. Can someone help me I would be grateful.

OTR works well in these kinds of situations, you also need to ensure that you take other appropriate precautions to prevent leakage of conversation data. Not keeping logs at all is one of them, unless you copy text from the conversation window into another application in which you can ensure privacy. I'd suggest visiting the OTR web pages at Cypherpunks and also asking more on the OTR users list. MSN messenger seems to work fine on pidgin for me but yahoo as I said will not sign in.

These statements simply mean that the preferences file is being saved in the directories indicated. It is called prefs.xml, and the directory is called .purple as that is the name of the library Pidgin uses and the name has been reused for that directory name. The Yahoo problem details or at least some pointers to what is happening will quite likely show up in the debug window, is there any more there than what you have typed? Open it and then try and log on to Yahoo and see what appears. -- Brian Morrison Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud; after a while you realize you are muddy and the pig is enjoying it. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
