I would like to add a skype account to Pidgin, but can't choose the Skype protocol in the settings. How can i fix this problem?
The Skype protocol is a trade secret and I believe that the Skype API licensing is incompatible with including Skype support in a GPL licensed program, like Pidgin.
However, if you looked at the pidgin web site you would have found that there is a third party plugin that, at least at some time, claimed to support Skype API: http://code.google.com/p/skype4pidgin/
Alternatively, you could ask Microsoft to publish the Skype protocol specification, but don't hold your breath.
Please consider using services based on more open protocols. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
