Hello, I regret being clueless. I have tried a dozen ways to make this work, but I have not yet been able to figure it out.
I have a gmail account. Is that enough to get Jabber to work? If so, what server do I indicate? what resource? If not, can anyone recommend a Jabber server that works? I tried several, all failing miserably. I tried requiring SSL, I checked the box to create a new account, I tried various (numerous!) permutations. I googled "starting Jabber" and many other permutations. Do I need to set up a specific Jabber account _before_ trying to get Pidgin to have access to the account? Any help will be appreciated, even if it is only the suggestion to go read an actually useful page on the web. I've gone through a lot of them, and up until now have stopped short of installing other Jabber clients -- on the theory that Pidgin probably is working just fine if I could just figure out how to use it. Once I somehow get my Jabber account configured into my Pidgin client, I am _guessing_ that I should be able to select the XMPP account as the correct protocol to use when I make use of the "Add Buddy" feature. Is this correct? Or do I have to do something more esoteric and opaque to put Jabber-minded colleagues in my list of buddies? Thanks in advance, Charlie P. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
