Comment(by pozunmv):

 Having the same issues with yahoo accounts as well.  Ive seen the issue on
 5 different machines, running 2.5.6 and 2.5.5 (I believe but it may be an
 older version as well)
 2.5.6 on 2 windows XP professional machines
 2.5.5? on Suse  10.3
 2.5.6 on Suse 11.1
 2.5.6 on Ubuntu 9.04

 Attached is the debug from a windows xp instance, the log contains to
 connection attempts

 Connections from this machine work with another client when connecting to
 yahoo with the same server defined.  Verified with wireshark the other
 client is resolving the ip to the same address, in this instance the 76
 address.

 Ive also tried modifying the server address for the account to be the ip
 address not the domain name (even though from the debug log its resolving
 to the correct address).  This also fails to create the connection
 properly.

 The connection between the two clients is setup the exact same way, port
 and host, but pidgin is unable to connect.   This started occuring around
 13:00EST on 6/18 for me and I have not be able to login to yahoo accounts
 from Pidgin since then.
