Enabling Yahoo Accounts On Ubuntu

posted under , , by prasanna
Only after started using Ubuntu i came to know about the existence of Pidgin Internet Messenger(:P). I was pretty much happy as i it allowed to consolidate all my google and yahoo accounts together as a single IM. But I have to make some small hacks to enable my Yahoo account on Pidgin Internet Messenger (2.6.3)

  • Goto Pidgin Messenger -> Accounts
  • Manage Accounts -> Add
  • In the Basic tab enter Protocol As Yahoo
  • Enter your User name and Password
  • In the Advanced Tab enter the details as shown in the screenshot.



Now you can access your Yahoo account through Pidgin.
