 in pidgin when you go to accounts > modify account > advanced tab it lists
 this for yahoo japan

 {{{
 PAGER SERVER            cs.yahoo.co.jp
 PAGER PORT              5050
 FILE TRANSFER SERVER    filetransfer.msg.yahoo.co.jp
 FILE TRANSFER PORT      80
 CHAT ROOM LOCALE        ja
 ENCODING                UTF-8
 }}}

 but i know theres alot more servers used than this such as the http login
 server while i think whats listed as the pager server listed is the ymsg
 server its still missing listing ymsg.http server voice server and theres
 also the captcha server but i think that only pertains to "yahoo world"
 (as opposed to "yahoo japan") right now
 also its similar to my experience on irc i think except i just had to type
 in 1 server but it wasnt a different server or set of servers for
 different things like yahoo but many different servers forming a whole
 network performing multiple tasks with administrative names ran by host
 servers performing additional tasks
 but i digress

 for our general information and curiosity there should be a list of sites
 and some url's that pidgin knows about or uses and allow us to type in our
 own values for servers and change them as options
 i dont recall any yahoo anything client ever that did this so i think this
 is a novel idea

 thank you

Comment:

 This sounds like a potential ''disaster'' (and I think that might be an
 understatement).  Users already run in to issues changing the options that
 are already listed there and breaking their accounts.

 What use case do you imagine for needing to edit every server/port
 individually?
