Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU! 

Now, how to get my "Buddies" back and configured with alert pounces and such. Fortunately, I wrote it all down the last time something like this happened!

Have a great weekend!!!

To switch to the new protocol you'll need to edit the account and change from ICQ to ICQ (WIM).
If you're still seeing the BOS error, then you're using the old protocol stillÂ

Hi Elon,
I did get the message last year and did move to the new one. It was working fine until I closed ICQ yesterday.
Thank you for the link.  Here's what I did:
Closed Pidgin completely
Downloaded these two files to folder on desktop
libicyque.dll
libjson-glib-1.0.dll
Opened Windows Explorer
Draged libicyque.dll into C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\plugins\ folder
Draged libjson-glib-1.0.dll  to C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\ (not plugins!) folder
Restarted Pidgin
No joy. Still getting "unable to connect to BOS server. Connection refused"
Starting "Panic Mode"!

Hi there,
You probably got a message from the ICQ servers near the end of last year that said they were shutting down the old service and that you'd need to move to their new one?  There's a new plugin that connects to the new protocol and replaces the existing one in Pidgin:
https://github.com/EionRobb/icyque
Cheers,

Hi!
Looked at all the old stuff, and this has happened before, but nothing new came up. Is there a new upgrade for this??
Pidgin was working fine until today when the ICQ program, resident and running on the task bar, got closed accidentally. Ok, I closed it. Forgot it had to be on. So, I get the error message: Unable to connect to BOS server: Connection refused.
Tried *everything* (reloading Pidgin, deleting Pidgin, reinstalling newest version, re-launching ICQ, playing with the settings in Pidgin, deleting account and making new -w/same settings) and ... Nada.
Under Modify Account, the server listed is login.icq.com,  I do not see it in the list of SSL servers:
api.icq.net,
api.login.icq.net
api.oscar.aol.com
api.screenname.aol.com
bos.oscar.aol.com
edit.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com
and couldn't find info online to add it for myself.
So.   H E L P !!
Thank you, one and all.
Angel
