Show ICQ nickname in buddy-list
Hi Just installed Pidgin 2.4.6 for windows. Used Trillian 3.1 before. When signing on to my MSN and ICQ-accounts, it correctly found all my contacts and added those to my buddylist in pidging. However, all icq-users are shown in the list as their UIN-number. I would like to display the nicknames instead, but can't figure out how to, short of manually editing the alias of all the contacts (which I would prefer not to ) When I right-click a contact and select 'Get Info', I can see their nickname is present in this info. -- Mads Lie Jensen - m...@gartneriet.dk - ICQ #25478403 Gartneriet - http://www.gartneriet.dk/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Help with Pidgin
I have an HP laptop and I have pidgin on it. It had been working fine for months but now it will not connect. I keep getting the message: Failed to connect to server. We had changed internet companies but for awhile Pidgin was fine but then it just stopped.

Re: SMS
Please include the support mailing list on all replies.

AIM has supported SMS messages (sending IMs to +1 + ten-digit phone number). Yahoo has supported something similar +countrycodephone number (maybe that's the same? Not sure) since Pidgin 2.6.0. ~Paul You use the New Instant Message dialog, select a protocol that supports SMS (like Yahoo, which you use), and enter +1countrycodephone number. IOW, instead of sending an IM to darkrain42, you can IM +15105550100 to send a text message to (510) 555-0100. ~Paul ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

They changed the protocol. You need to install Pidgin 2.6.4 to catch up. If the problem is not with MSN, you are going to have to tell us more. A better subject would have been: 'Failed to connect to server when using MSN'. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Customers were able to keep the @rocketmail.com in their email addresses, although an @rocketmail.com address was not an option for people signing up for a new email account at Yahoo.com from 1997 until June of 2008. New email accounts from Yahoo! can now be @yahoo.com, @ymail.com, or @rocketmail.com. I imagine that your @rocketmail.com address will work fine with the Yahoo protocol. -- PIT signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
