-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 I can login to web messenger and yahoo mail with username and password,
 but when set in Pidgin it rejects the name and disables Yahoo. MSN, AIM
 seem to work fine. Pidgin v2.5.4 on Win XP

 Debug window states the following when I try to log in:
