 I primarily use Pidgin to chat with my AIM, MSN, and Gmail accounts.
 However, after logging into my AIM account via AOL's iPhone app, I
 constantly receive "Authorize buddy?" notifications in Pidgin for buddies
 that are already on my buddy list.

 For example, if I have an AIM buddy with the screenname of "john", I now
 receive requests to add "john at aol.com". Essentially creating a duplicate
 buddy.

 In some cases it's creating invalid duplicates though. If the buddy's
 screenname has "@mac.com" I'll receive an authorization request that reads
 like, "john(mac.com)@aol.com wants to add you to his or her buddy list."
 The correct buddy's name (which is already on my buddy list) would be
 "john at mac.com".

 If I 'Deny' the requests I'll just continue to receive notifications to
 authorize them. It's trying to authorize the buddies under my Gmail (xmpp)
 account.
