As a follow-up to this note, I found this, which is really disturbing.

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

Pidgin Support,

Please use this email to create an enhancement ticket as Yahoo Messenger is 
communicating changes to Yahoo Messenger and discontinuing old messenger.

What do I need to do to embrace this change and continue using Pidgin and not 
be forced over to the new Yahoo Messenger client?


Here is the message I received last night and this morning.

As a long time user of Pidgin using the Yahoo Messenger account, I want to know 
how Pidgin will be supporting this change?
