Pidgin has no such feature. In order to accomplish this, you are sending all of your account information to Digsby servers, where they are storing it. Leaving aside the obvious security implications of this, we have no desire to maintain services. Pidgin is not a commercial venture and has no incentive or structure in place to do so. We don't want to be responsible for either your data or your privacy. Apparently Digsby does(?). You can copy your .purple directory from machine to machine, which may do what you want. Ethan
