 Hello, I had since today pidgin 2.4.x
 There was a Bug, that ICQ told me to update to a newer version. I did
 this, but now some of my contacts are lost.
 I've got an older blist.xml where my contacts are allright.
 Is there any way to import these contacts top pidgin again?
 I tried already to copy this file to the .purple directory, but every
 time, I'm trying to start pidgin, the file is overwriten by the ICQ
 servers list.
 I didn't find any tools, which can import the blist.xml to ICQ again.
 Thanks for reading this!
 I hope you can help me
