sometimes some email id locks your account for some duration when you try to log in many times through different software, like chat software or mailreader software etc.

Try logging into your email id website directly, in a browser, then log out from there and then start pidgin.

Are there any known problems with Pidgin (v2.7.5)?
Since yesterday morning, 19 November 2010, I have not been able to
Enable my installation of Pidgin,
it shows "Unable to authenticate:  Authentication Failure".
I have un-installed the application, cold re-booted, defragged and
cold re-booted again
before reinstalling Pidgin v2.7.5. However, that did not resolve the
problem, it still can not authenticate. There have been no
O/S (XP Pro, SP3) modifications or Malware present (Avast, Spyware
Terminator, Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware,
Spybot-Search & Destroy, Spyware Blaster and Super Anti-Spyware ...
with only Avast and Spyware Terminator running in real-time).
Cheers Colin.
