Thanks for the fast reponse.
if you delete your accounts.xml and start pidgin again, you don't have any accounts left, right?

then you should just recreate one account, connect to it, quit pidgin, start pidgin again and look if it's working.

- working: the account is not responsible for the problem. so recreate the next account and so on and so on.

- not working: the account is bugging pidgin.

then it would be interesting which protocol the account is using and how the <account>-part in the xml looks like.

(if you want to post the xml as code here, please don't forget to delete or "xxxxx"-out your sensitive data (like passwords etc))
