As a follow-up to this note, I found this, which is really disturbing. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-messenger-for-web/SLN26860.html
-=-=-=-=-=-=- Can I use Yahoo Messenger with 3rd party messaging apps? No. The new version of Yahoo Messenger doesn't work with 3rd party clients, like Trillian and Pidgin. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Any way to find a way to make this work? Please advise. - Tom Burgess _____________________________________________ From: Burgess, Tom (KCTCS) Sent: Friday, August 19, 2016 8:50 AM To: 'support@pidgin.im' <support@pidgin.im> Cc: 'Tom Burgess' <terabytema...@hotmail.com> Subject: Yahoo Messenger, changes Pidgin Support, Please use this email to create an enhancement ticket as Yahoo Messenger is communicating changes to Yahoo Messenger and discontinuing old messenger.
