NWSChat is an XMPP based service run by the US National Weather Service. 
  For PIDGIN setup instructions, see 
<https://nwschat.weather.gov/emPidgin.php>.

For account problems, you will need to contact the National Weather Service.

Authorisation problems generally result from putting the wrong username 
or password into the client, but could be the result of policies 
operated by the service.  The pidgin users on this mailing list have no 
access to NWS passwords.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
