Can you post the contents of the Pidgin debug window, opened from the
Help menu please. If you open this before connecting (or trying to) we
can see the results and help diagnose this.

Personally I also believe that it's up to Quicktate to ensure they
support you.

Which version of Pidgin do you have?  2.6.2 is the latest.
