Attach the output of the Help->Debug Window when connecting to one of  
the accounts in Pidgin, please. What versions of Pidgin and Adium are  
you using? How was the account in Adium configured?

I ask because Adium and Pidgin use the same underlying library  
(libpurple) for connections, so if it works in Adium, it definitely  
should be working in Pidgin, too.
