Comment(by hellocatfood):

 Hi,

 It's been awhile but this happened yet again. Once again my computer
 crashed on startup and then when I restarted it all of my accounts had
 gone. As I have pidgin to start up automatically I had to restart it then
 open again with pidgin -d. This is my terminal output:

 Luckily I made a backup of my .purple folder a few weeks ago. I checked my
 accounts.xml file in backup and it's 909 lines and has details from all of
 my accounts. My current accounts.xml file only has 435 lines, all of which
 seem to be about the facebook plugin which I disabled awhile back.
