Re: Unable to connect to BOS server: Connection refused.

To switch to the new protocol you'll need to edit the account and change
from ICQ to ICQ (WIM).

If you're still seeing the BOS error, then you're using the old protocol
still

Pidgin was working fine until today when the ICQ program, resident and
running on the task bar, got closed accidentally. Ok, I closed it. Forgot
it had to be on. So, I get the error message: Unable to connect to BOS
server: Connection refused.

Tried *everything* (reloading Pidgin, deleting Pidgin, reinstalling newest
version, re-launching ICQ, playing with the settings in Pidgin, deleting
account and making new -w/same settings) and ... Nada.
Under Modify Account, the server listed is login.icq.com,  I do not see it
in the list of SSL servers: api.icq.net, api.login.icq.net api.oscar.aol.com
api.screenname.aol.com bos.oscar.aol.com edit.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com and
couldn't find info online to add it for myself.
So.  H E L P !!

Thank you, one and all.

Usually yes, but like with all things in life: If it is important, keep a 
backup and test your backup.

Hi there,

You probably got a message from the ICQ servers near the end of last year
that said they were shutting down the old service and that you'd need to
move to their new one?  There's a new plugin that connects to the new
protocol and replaces the existing one in Pidgin:
https://github.com/EionRobb/icyque

Cheers,
Eion

Unable to connect to BOS server: Connection refused.

[Angel]

Hi!

Looked at all the old stuff, and this has happened before, but 
nothing new came up. Is there a new upgrade for this??


Pidgin was working fine until today when the ICQ program, resident 
and running on the task bar, got closed accidentally. Ok, I closed 
it. Forgot it had to be on. So, I get the error message: Unable to 
connect to BOS server: Connection refused.


Tried *everything* (reloading Pidgin, deleting Pidgin, reinstalling 
newest version, re-launching ICQ, playing with the settings in 
Pidgin, deleting account and making new -w/same settings) and ... Nada.


Under Modify Account, the server listed is login.icq.com,  I do not 
see it in the list of SSL servers:

api.icq.net,
api.login.icq.net
api.oscar.aol.com
api.screenname.aol.com
bos.oscar.aol.com
edit.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com
and couldn't find info online to add it for myself.

So.  H E L P !!

Thank you, one and all.
