no, my Google Talk account is an @gmail.com account that I have not registered as an AIM screen name. Checked with one of the other @gmail.com accounts I chat with via Google Talk who is getting the repeated authorization requests, and their's has not been registered as a screen name either.

This interoperation is too new for anyone to really have a good handle on and certainly too new for us to fully understand how it is supposed to work and the ways in which it fails to work. Attempting to IM [email protected] for the first time from an aim account appears to work correctly for some people (including myself in a quick test). That is the very first message fails, the Google Talk user gets a subscription request, and then things work normally after that. The reverse appears to work similarly (with the first AIM->Google Talk message still failing, at least with pidgin I imagine the Google Talk/web client may work around that). Someone in the #pidgin irc channel was complaining about similar floods of authorization requests the other day but I don't think that was ever resolved. Do you have your Google Talk email address registered as an AIM screen name? Do the people with whom you are having this problem have that? -Etan _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
