Can't login to AIM
 

Hi guys, I can't get my AIM account to login. I have no problems with MSN or Yahoo, but AIM refuses to connect.

I installed Extra protocol plugins for Conversations and Contacts v0.7
(which then installed Link-Local XMPP, MSN, Pidgin Extra Protocols, Pidgin Protocols Plugin, and pymaemo-optify)

Then I added my MSN, Yahoo and AIM accounts, and for some reason only AIM will not work. under 'Advanced Settings' I tried to select the 'Use Clientlogin' and then sign in and still no luck (this would make it match my desktop PC's pidgin settings), and then the checkbox automatically deselect's itself.

Does anyone have any ideas why my AIM won't connect? Thanks

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

the latest version seems to be a little bit buggy.
you won't be able to login to icq as well.
and because icq uses the same network as aim i think that's the same problem.
you can downgrade the version to get icq working again - maybe this fixes aim too?!

OK, I'll just wait for an update, thanks!

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

meanwhile you could use "pidgin".
it hasn't the integration into the contact profiles but i use it on my ubuntu desktop as messenger.
i tried the port for the n900 and have to say that it's really well done.
maybe you just give it a try. ;)

just wanted to say that after the im plugins update today, my AIM and MSN are both working now! :)

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

And so is ICQ, but with one caveat: I had to restart the device (felt so much like some other OS we all know..)

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

im still unable to sign in with icq.
i installed the pidgin protocols plugin for conversations and contacts v0.7.

and added an msn acount, but im unable to add an icq acount.
when i press 'sign in' the button becomes disabled, but nothing happens after that.

does anyone have any advise?

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

0.7 doesn't work.
the latest version is 0.8 but that's maybe only in testing or devel repository yet....

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

I have .8 but for some reason I can't connect to AIM.

Are there any prefs I can clear that may be hurting something? Signing in via Facebook works fine btw, just my AIM won't work.

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

So mine started working. It might have been that I had a weird facebook-chat installed for Pidgin. Purged pidgin and now Aim works!

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

I couldn't sign into AIM either using Conversations or Pidgin on my N900. I found online that you have to unchcheck the box "Use Client Login" in the advanced settings. Worked fine for me after that.

EDIT: I accidentally wrote "check" instead of "uncheck" the box. the box was checked by default and I had to uncheck it to get AIM to work last night. The weird thing is that I've used AIM and pidgin on my phone before and it worked fine.

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

You are my hero! This works for ICQ as well :D

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

Are you signing in via pidgin or IM accounts? My AIM works under Pidgin but not IM accounts :(

Re: Can't login to AIM
 

Try these settings:

1) host/server: kdc.uas.aol.com
2) port: 443
3) uncheck SSL login

hope this works for you 'cause it worked for me.
