from the main pidgin screen

Press CTRL+A
Select the account
Click modify
Click "New mail notifications"

You should now get similar to MSN messenger with mail alerts

You can add the pidgin developer PPA and get pidgin 2.6.3

If you add:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

to /etc/apt/sources.list
You will also need to run:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8

You will then be able to upgrade to 2.6.3

If you are not using karmic, change to repository line to reflect this.
lsb_release -c
Will tell you what your release name is if you are unsure

first, go to the account-your hotmail account menu- edit account
and there click in the notify new mails...
then in the account menu- your hotmail account menu, there an option that says open inbox

to change nickname you go to account-your hotmail account menu- edit account and in user options there a place to put your nickname

Can you help with this problem?
