I had trouble getting kopete to recoginize the plugins in /usr/lib/kde3 until enabled debug in config. Weird, going to try it tomorrow without and see if doesn't work again.

Anyway, I setup the AIM protocol also and have troubles. People could talk to me, messages would popup and when tried to talk to them. Stupid kopete would say they are not online. Like I was just talking to them a minute ago on it. This weird behavior looks like it might have stemmed from the fact that it changed the contact id to lowercase.

First had to delete the contact file, because kopete seem to not actually save anything when removed and deleted a contact. Recreated contacts and had to be very careful with the upper/lower case. Was able to talk to contact. Saved contact list. Restarted kopete and they tried talking to me again. Their message comes up fine, when type in something and send, it says they are not online. NOW, how the heck is the message box working in kopete, they have just sent me a message and it think they aren't online?

So far not impressed at all with this app. Looks nice, lot of options. Doesn't work correctly though.

See if it saving your contact ID's correctly. You may need to experiment with it, by renaming your contact xml file and starting over several times. This program seems to be full of bugs.

I love kde for the desktop and that is mainly all I use, but kopete seems to need a major rework.

Have your tried GAIM. It works much better. I find it easier to use and much easier to setup?

Well, kopete is a pretty young app compared to GAIM or licq. IMHO it made tremendous progress. But nevertheless it's version number is still < 1.0. So problems and instabilities are not that surprising to me.
But I have to say it's working for me. I only use ICQ and IRC though.

I find it surprising how big the user base already is. It's supposed to make its official debut with KDE 3.2. I expect it to be more stable when it's released along with KDE 3.2 because there will be additional effort to bring it into shape.

I think the good points about kopete are multi-protocol support and integration with the KDE addressbook. There's a lot of potential there.

Qt: 3.2.3
KDE: 3.2.0
Kopete: 0.8.0

Still shows all contacts as offline. Can connect with Gaim to another account and send kopete a message.
Comes up, but try to send a message and says that I am offline. Sillly. Second try at kopete and still not working. Don't have a clue.
