For example: - Protocol – XMPP? You can select the Google Talk protocol preset in recent versions of Pidgin. Then enter your username and domain (if it's not gmail.com). - Resource?? A resource is an XMPP specific thing that allows one to use several clients for the same account. - Connection security - (Require encryption? Use encryption if available? use old-style SSL?) - Connect Port?? - Connect Server – talk.google.com?? You don't need to set all of these settings with the Google Talk preset. I've now tried to connect to my account this way on a new UNIX user, and it worked.

Re: Can't connect to google talk/chat from Pidgin
Hi Nate, what's the message you receive on the bottom of the main screen? I think it's regarding the Gmail settings, if you enabled 2-step Verification in your Gmail account you must enable App passwords for any app you use [other than google's official apps] on any device [phone, laptop, pc etc]. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/ and create your app password for Pidgin and put that password in Account Settings in Pidgin [instead of normal password of your account] Attention: be sure you copy generated password before closing that window Worked for me! Hope i was clear enough with my example :) On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 6:58 PM, Nate Jensen herrimanco...@gmail.com wrote: Google just shut down the google talk windows client infrastructure and I hate using the gmail web client for my chats.

Google Talk for Google domains issue
So yesterday I was connected to google talk when another employee said she could not connect. I disconnected and could not re-connect with google talk or with pidgin(Only with Hangouts). Because I was connected I suspect an authentication change for google domains. Other people reported that google talk was working fine. I tried with my regular google account @gmail.com and it works but on my google domain xyz.com the google account can no longer sign in. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Google Talk email notification issue
Hello guys, I am using Pidgin to replace Google Talk client. I have enabled email notification by modifying my account in Pidgin. Now the issue is I don't get new email notifications, initially I had discovered that in order to receive notifications I must minimize the Pidgin program. I did, I started receiving new mail notifications but after certain period of time (may be half hour or one) it stops notifying of new emails. Program seems to be working fine. When I quit it and login again then I get notification. I am on Windows 8.1 x64 Any solutions? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
