 Dear rekkanoryo,

 Thanx a million for trying to help out. Your swift response does you honor
 !
 Therefore I regret to say that the fix you suggested did not work for me (
 or there was something I did wrong ).
 I installed the 2.7.1, renamed the three original files, and copied in the
 ones attached to this ticket.
 I then started Pidgin up with the settings I always use, but my Yahoo
 account could not get through our firewall :-(

 Since you consider this hack and ugly one, maybe it is best to leave this
 issue until you have found a solution you have more confidence in.

 Kind regards
