problem with yahoo...

[Paul Queen]

hi!  first and foremost, thanks for the awesome program and time and effort
you guys put into it, its much appreciate by the community even if some of
us dont ever say thank you... you know how the interwebs can be a cold place
at times..

anyhow.. my issue is that for the last few days i cannot login to my yahoo
account.

pidgin pops up a window that says "could not establish a connection with the
server: connection refused"

the debug screen shows this when i try to login with the account...

"(13:43:09) *account:* Connecting to account darkcarni9
