New description:

 The contacts with are added to IM aren't synchronized with the contacts on
 the server.

 ''Examples:''

 * I add one account to Pidgin. The added contact wouldn't show up on the
 server (by example: yahoo)

 * I have removed one contact from Pidgin. The removed contact won't get
 removed from the server (by example: yahoo)

 * I have updated an contact in Pidgin. The contact won't get updated on
 the server (by example: yahoo)

 * on Pidgin exist some contacts with aren't on the server (and vice versa)

 Please fix this contact synchronization problems.

 Note: This bug exist not only in Yahoo.... it exist in all supported by
 Pidgin protocols

Comment:

 Replying to [comment:30 mcgiwer]:
 > As I had mentioned over and over above, I can't get in Pidgin that all
 contacts in Pidgin were same as on the server (and vice versa). It means
 that not all contacts (and groups) are "catched" from the server contact
 list (same goes in the opposite direction. If I add an contact in Pidgin
 then it don't get's uploaded on server's contact list)

 And as I've mentioned far too many times, we need a debug log (which is
 defined as the output of the Help->Debug Window) of this issue occurring
 ''while the gevolution plugin is not loaded''.  With that log, please
 include a list of ''ALL'' the plugins you have enabled at the time the log
 was generated.
