Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create an "old" yahoo account A
  2. Create a "Yahoo 2016" account B
  3. Login to account B
  4. Message account A from account B
  5. Login to account A
  6. Message account A from account B again

Expected result: Another tab opens, user can message one account from the other

Observed result: Debug window shows activity but no tab opens

I'm pretty sure this is in the "blame yahoo" territory. Think of this as a completely different IM network that happens to share usernames.

When I login to Account A on Yahoo email web site, I am able to message Account B on Pidgin. Similarly, logging in to Account B on Yahoo email web site and messaging Account A on Pidgin.

So there must be a bridge between the separate networks.

Unless you added the yahoo user to your buddy list using their long and random-looking id number (26 characters of upper case alphanumeric characters) you're not going to be able to send them a message, as I haven't added any way of converting between the 'messenger id' (like 'eionrobb') and the 'user id' (like '36HY3HZBURIUMO4Y4LST6HRVOI')

Actually, even if you do add their user id I don't think it'll work, because I haven't added any way of creating a new chat room if one doesn't exist already.

The workaround at the moment is to send a message on messenger.yahoo.com, or get them to message you first, and then continue the conversation with Pidgin.

https://github.com/EionRobb/funyahoo-plusplus/commit/3a524055f7d17c2a367657097b777fb14e006c7f has fixes so that you can add a user to your buddy list with their yahoo id and it should convert it into the user id

Great! Thank you! By Yahoo ID I assume you mean the email address. Also, please provide a DLL.

By Yahoo ID I assume you mean the email address.

No, I mean the yahoo id like "eionrobb" but I've just added support for adding people by their email address

Also, please provide a DLL.

I've updated the front page readme with instructions about that

If i'm reading this right, this is solved already. If that is not correct, comment and we'll reopen. Also remember to test with the latest revision.
