The certificate for gmail.com could not be validated

[Steve Golub]

Thanks very much for the quick reply.
 
I've installed 2.10.7 and it seems to have fixed the issue.
 
Please close the ticket as successful.

Upgrade to Pidgin 2.10.7.

Google updated the Certificates.  There's a bug in older Pidgin versions that prevents the new certificate from being validated successfully.
