Mail-en agent in Linux

This is already a rather hackneyed question on the Internet, but I decided to add it, because I recently discovered for myself a good alternative to all existing options related to mail.ru.
Neither qutim, nor mdc, nor mail.ru itself on qt gave the necessary stability and functionality. And with grief I decided to return to the pidgin I forgot, but far from a bad one, and it turned out to be voila !!!, I don’t need to cut anything, everything is ready.
In general, the installation is banal to horror. But it will be useful to describe it for future linux users:
In general, the default is in Ubunt, I have 10.04 by default, it is pidgin 2.6. We need a new pidgin, now it is 2.9. We can install it from the ppa repository in the console:

maximka@maxbuntu:~$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa
maximka@maxbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
maximka@maxbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install pidgin
maximka@maxbuntu:~$ pidgin -v
Pidgin 2.9.0 (libpurple 2.9.0)


Somehow, after that, you need to download the plugin from a third-party site, we have two of those, we will use the first available:

code.google.com/p/mrim-prpl/downloads/list
')
We download our deb package, install it by double-clicking, restart pidgin, and in the lists of protocols, where accounts are connected, we can observe the “red dog”. Rejoice You can again communicate with your blonde girlfriends with Windows and a mobile agent. Linux for everyone.
