Note About ICQ/AIM Interoperability
-----------------------------------
The AIM plugin is able to communicate with ICQ users. However, this feature
will only work if the users you are trying to communicate with are using
a compatible client. As of now, this means they must be using ICQLite Alpha
build #1211 or greater. More ICQ clients will support this interoperability as
time goes on. To add an ICQ user, just enter their ICQ UIN in the Screename
field of the Find/Add User dialog.
FAQ
---
Question:
How come contacts are being adding to my contact list everytime I login?
Answer:
This is due to the option "Add extra contacts from the server's list to my list". Uncheck this option if you do not wish to add contacts from your server-side list.
Question:
Does the AIM Protocol plugin support file transfer?
Answer:
Not yet. Only file receive is possible using TOC. This is on the todo list.
