May be you should run 'mv ~/.purple/certificates ~/.purple/certificates.old' and then quit Pidgin and try re-connecting. If this also didn't help, 'rm -rf ~/.purple' and then again setup your accounts in Pidgin. Hope it works now buddy.

Cool. Renaming the Certificates folder seems to have worked. Thanks!
