Thanks. I really overlooked that protocol. But thanks for having good SEO and showing up on the first page of google.

Unfortunately qca-tls pulls in qt3 dependencies that I’m avoiding (irrationally) like the plague!

Thanks Frank!
It worked like a charm.
OS: Debian Lenny

1 note tho: be sure that you do not do initial log on to google talk with status: invisible
This will cause the contact list not to be shown.

Hi dab, from your IP I assume you are German. In Germany Google is not allowed to use gmail. Just visit gmail.com from a German IP to get:

We can’t provide service under the Gmail name in Germany; we’re called Google Mail here instead.

If you’re traveling in Germany, you can access your mail at http://mail.google.com.

Oh, and we’d like to link the URL above, but we’re not allowed to do that either. Bummer.

For general information about Google, please visit http://www.google.com or http://www.google.de.

Seems like google routes to different servers/ports depending on application (gmail->443 / talk->5332) and possibly national ip domain as well…

I use it with my gmail acc and its work with:
login: @googlemail.com (@gmail not working)
server: talk.google.com
port: 443

Thanks a lot !

Thanks a lot for these tips
I’m using Fedora 10 Cambridge x86_64 bit edition and Kopete 0.60.2
I was very much disappointed with Kopete due to the problem associated with Google talk
I was heading back to Pidgin due to this problem
Now everything is fine and I’m 100 % satisfied

Hats off to Frank Spychalski
I wish you all the very best !!!
