This appears to me to be an issue with your conference server operator,
not something to do with Pidgin.

What do you mean by completely wiping. If you really did this and then
re-installed the OS and Pidgin, pidgin would have no knowledge of any of
your accounts. The accounts would still exist, but Pidgin wouldn't know
that and wouldn't know they were connected in any way, unless you
connected to one and its server told Pidgin.

The account IDs are of no use to us as we have no control over Jabber,
gmail, the conference server, or your PC.

I suspect that is precisely what needs to happen. The conference
operators need to remove the jabber account from the conference.
To remove an account from Pidgin, you use Accounts | Manage Accounts ..
| Delete.
To prevent Pidgin automatically logging into an account, you use
Accounts | Manage Accounts ... and unselect Enabled.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
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.
