be invisible to one particular user in Pidgin

Question

Is there any way to be invisible to just one user on my Pidgin buddy list, and visible to everyone else? It is a Yahoo Messenger user in case that matters.

Is there not a block? (on right click or in settings, think there used to be) — lavamunky, May 21 '10 at 19:13

I think you can just right click on the name and select "Presence Settings" > "Appear permanently offline"

Thank you. I don't know how I failed to notice this setting. – Elias Zamaria May 21 '10 at 21:21

Pidgin can't do anything that the underlying protocol doesn't support. If Y!IM can't do it then Pidgin won't be able to.

Yahoo Messenger has a "Appear permanently offline to this user" option in the stealth settings for each user. Is there any way to access this option in Pidgin? – Elias Zamaria May 21 '10 at 17:25
