Please reply on list.  This is a peer support forum and works best when 
multiple people can see and check the answers.  Also people don't want 
to keep answering the same question, so it works best when people with 
the  same problem can find the answers by searching.


Pidgin supports a number of service types, and in some cases, 
particularly XMPP, a number of organisations provide those services, so, 
in those cases, it also provides the ability to configure the network 
address for the provider.


If Pidgin was provided for work or education use, the service provider 
is likely to be your employer or college.  More generally, if Pidgin was 
provided pre-configured, you should consult whoever configured the 
machine.  You couldn't configure it yourself without knowing the service 
provider.


Many of the mass market services have now been closed down, but in the 
past service providers for those included Microsoft, Yahoo and Google. 
I've lost track of which companies still provide public services with 
open protocols.

You need to contact the provider of the service you are using.  Pidgin
is just a tool that passes the user and password on to the service
provider, and passes the provider's rejection back to you.  It doesn't
decide whether or not they are correct.

There isn't enough information for me to guess your service provider.
