Oh, yeah... As a test, I created a jabber account for both of us, added them as a contact and was able to chat with them just fine.
Also, in Empathy on my present computer, I have no problem seeing/chatting with AIM contacts I created years ago on another computer. So the issue is with the AIM contact creation interface, or something along those lines. -- contacts added show as offline & Unable to send message: In local permit/deny https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
