This will delete pidgin's memory of the accounts, but won't delete the

individual instant messaging services.

How to delete the accounts will vary from service to service and may not 
even be possible.

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.
