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.
