The 2.6.1 version (portable and not) has a bug that will prevent proper connection to XMPP service (jabber to some).
This is mentioned in bug #9956 at (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9956).
The fix is a newer version of libpurple.dll provided at http://pidgin.im/~nosnilmot/2.6.1/srvfix/libpurple.dll.
For portable version replace libpurple.dll in .\PidginPortable\App\Pidgin with one linked in bug report mentioned above.

It's deleted all my accounts, what's going on here?
do you still have things in PidginPortable\Data? If so, you may just have had a corrupt download. Download it again and replace it again.
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
I'm checking the debug now.
Thank you
The 2.6.2 release resolves the inherent bug in 2.6.1 related to xmpp mentioned above. Not sure about the xmpp+ssl issue.
