That may not be a Pidgin problem, which would limit how much help folks
around here could provide.

What protocol/service are you experiencing this in?  i.e. AIM, MSN, Yahoo
(I'm picking non-existent services for examples).  If it's a private IM
service, like something used in an office, then your IT department could
offer the best assitence.

What version of Pidgin are you using, and on what O/S (Windows, Mac, etc.)?
