Adding New Accounts

[Hester Ferguson]

I have created two xmpp accounts and added them but my instant message isn’t going through.

Do both accounts have to be enabled on each pidgin to be able to communicate?

Yahoo, at least, shut down their instant messaging almost a year ago, 
and the others are names of mail services, rather than any instant 
message service they may still be running.  (Google is shutting down, or 
has shut  down, Google Talk, in favour of Hangouts, and Pidgin only 
supports Google Talk.)

I'm wondering if you are trying to use email addresses as log in names, 
on some other instant messaging service, but I don't see how we can 
guess which that one is.  If that is the case, you might be better off 
asking that service's administrators.

It may also be that you are confusing email and instant messaging.
