Go to Accounts > Manage Accounts. Click on your Y!M account and press modify. Look there for a checkbox such as "Use SSL", "Connect Securely" etc. If there's nothing suitable (disclaimer: I check on Pidgin 2.10.6 for Windows and there's nothing suitable), then no, not directly. As a work-around, though, you might try connecting securely to an XMPP account (Account > Manage Accounts > New..., set "Protocol" to "XMPP", then under "Advanced" set "Connection security" to "Require encryption"). You can then use a Yahoo transport on the server to connect your XMPP account to your Y!M account. In other words, your connection would be: You -[SSL]-> XMPP server -[plain]-> Yahoo Server Finding an appropriate XMPP server is beyond the scope of this mailing list.
