This is really a very useful information. But I am having problems configuring Pidgin to work as Yahoo messenger. How is that to be done? I mean what are the ports and other settings?

I have a problem, connect yahoo using pidgin. I’ve tried change pager port to 20,23,80,443 (not default) and put proxy server, but still not work. Is there any solution?

You also need to specify the connect server as talk.google.com in the advanced tab of pidgin.
At first, your method did not work for me (I was getting read errors) so I did some searching and found this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847947 (pretty similar to yours), and this pointed me to what I was missing.

Thanks a lot for the useful post.

Can we pidgin to work with yahoo in the same way? If so please comment.

It might be useful (for the readers of your blog) to mention the IM services (e.g. Y!, MSN, GTalk etc) that are readily accessible using Pidgin via the proxy. As often people may not be looking for pidgin via proxy rather via (or behind) a proxy. This way your post will better search engine optimized.

Give it a thought if you like.
