My 1st 'diagnostic' Question would be:  Do You have the Advanced Tab set
to 'Global Proxy Settings'? [for each Account]

If one of Your IM Services is GTalk, have You made sure to configure SSL
[using "force Old " & plaintext login] along with the Server
talk.google.com?

Beyond that, without having a clue which IM Services You are failing
with, I cannot begin to assist.  To begin to outline configuration
options for every imaginable IM Service would require too much bandwidth
& is best left for the night I devote to the Pidgin Wiki. :-\

Please Reply with more details regarding IM Services & current
configuration Settings.

JOHN ;)
