Thanks Alex. The link in your email to yahoo messenger does not work. It seems that hundreds of emails and bug reports can not correct yahoo messenger while using Ubuntu. In a nutshell, yahoo messenger simply does not work to its full capacity with Ubuntu. That's Period! If you go onto yahoo messenger with a Windows machine one is amazed at all the enabled features...like being able to receive a file to getting detailed user information. All of which do not work using yahoo messenger with Ubuntu. I use pidgin and am able to communicate using yahoo messenger...BUT... all features are not available at this time. Frankly the subtle problems are too numerous to mention and probably too numerous to fix. So I suggest users to just get it working as best you can and hope that Karmic Koala with Empathy messenger service will work in total.
