Re: Your questions Re: OpenShot Help Manual - 3rd progress report

 

Helen, like Olivier mentioned, I think you have to have a gmail account to
use it with pidgin.  On a side-note, gmail is the best email app I've ever
used.  If you've never looked into it before, you should research it a bit.
I think you would like it.

Thanks,
-Jonathan
