I believe this specific issue is probably not Oracle specific. Though
that's good advice in general.

 Hi Support,
 
 Is there a way to save the data in buddy pounce? I need it to monitor
 somebody's time logs.
 
 THANKS!

Pounces can run external commands. Your external command can do anything
you want it to. But pounces really aren't a good solution to this class of
problem in general.

If you have an internal XMPP server doing this with a server component is
guaranteed to be a better idea. Even without that using a purpose-built
pidgin plugin is going to a better idea than this.

 Hello -
 
 What do you need to do to reset your password? My boss was logged out for 
 some reason and forgot his login and security questions. Can you guys reset 
 it for him and send him an e-mail? He is jordansverica and his e-mail is 
 jor...@sverica.commailto:jor...@sverica.com.

Assuming you have an internal IM (or other) service at Sverica you need to
contact them about this. pidgin is a client, not a service.

If this isn't an issue with an internal IM (or other) service then you
will need to take this up with whoever runs that service.

There is no such thing as a pidgin password. pidgin is an IM client it
uses the passwords you give it to connect you to external IM services (the
same way an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird connects you to your
email system).

Some services allow changing passwords via the client (and pidgin supports
that on some of them) but that's once you have already connected (i.e.
changing an in-use password).

pidgin also, when told to, stores passwords in the accounts.xml file so it
can log in to your accounts without asking you for the password every time
(stored in plain text so if pidgin has it stored, which I imagine it
doesn't, it can be recovered from there).

So, yes, if this is an AIM account then AOL will be the ones who will have
the tools/system necessary to reset a forgotten password (if anyone does).

You probably have an incompatible freetype6.dll somewhere in your Path
