Hi,
Please open pidgin, go to Accounts, edit twitter account.
which authentication method is in use?
If it is not OAuth, try using OAuth, see if that works.

Hi,

I managed to let it work. So solved for me, but pidgin still crash if some 
other users are doing same mistake.
I used my e-mail instead of my username twitter. Pidgin was trying to connect 
to my mail server, instead of twitter.

Thank.

Hm.
Just to be sure: Was this using the OAuth authentication or HTTP ?

I have tested with the 3 methods when using my e-mail instead of my twitter 
username.

OAuth: Crash
XAuth: Did not crash, but no message that username is wrong, or any alert to 
say that can not connect.
HTTP basic auth: Crash

How to reproduce the problem?
0. Start pidgin
1. Configure account with protocol "Twitter IM"
2. User name: test@test.com
3: password: whatever
4: Select login method (I have tested all)
5: Use other defaults value.
6: Stop pidgin.
7: Start pidgin
8: Activate account
9: Wait a while...

Ok, I finally managed to reproduce this problem.

The HTTP basic auth crash is due to Issue#230,

The „XAuth-nothing-happens” I can confirm - not sure why, though. 
This is material for another issue, I think.

The OAuth crash has been fixed in r383

• Changed state: Fixed

XAuth has been removed as a selection in r298 - so this is no longer an Issue, 
either
