Good afternoon everyone,
We've been slowly migrating our users worldwide off of the Windows platform, but had a bit of a problem using our own custom Jabber server with Pigin. We have multiple domains, so we use fully qualified email addresses as the username, thus:

[email protected]

...would be the full username. Of course, everytime we do that, Pigin pulls the domain out and pops it into the domain field, regardless if that field is already full.

Anyone know of a workaround so that I can get an ampersand as part of the username? Thank you!

The short answer is you probably need to enter the usernames as "bob.joe\40mydomain.com" (replace '@' with "\40"). An '@' is not a legal character in the Jabber ID node (username).

Just to make sure, though, are each of these domains configured as a vhost on the XMPP server? IOW, does the XMPP server think it is the authoritative server for mydomain.com (et al)? If so, you want to set up the accounts as:
        Username: bob.joe
        Domain: mydomain.com
and on the Advanced Tab:
Connect Server: our-jabber-server.blah.internal (this causes Pidgin to connect directly to this server instead of relying on the results of a SRV lookup on _xmpp-server._tcp.mydomain.com).
