[kopete] Problems with ICQ contacts
After login the first time with kopete to the icq network my conatcs are importet as well as the contact groups. But most of my contacs have the symbol for 'authetifcation needed' - under trillian or miranda at windows all my contacs are in my list and I can see their status. So why kopete handle the contacs that way - is there any possibility to get "normal" access to my contacs without requrest a activation from them?
thx

RE: [kopete] Problems with ICQ contacts
Miranda and Trillian both handle the ICQ contact list differently than Kopete does (IMHO, it's wrong, but whatever). Therefore, we added a setting to Kopete that allows it to ignore the fact that contacts on your list require authorization (at least with ICQ). Check the Privacy tab of your ICQ account settings.

Thank you for the reply! Please post a little more detailed where I will find these settings. I will also check if I ave the latest version of kopete installed ...
open the settings for the ICQ account and click on the Privacy tab.

I found these privacy - settings, but I dont found the setting for getting the status of all my contacts which dont have allowd me to add them to my list :-(
You need at least version 0.11 of Kopete, if I remember correctly. The name of the setting should be 'Respect the authorization status of other contacts' or something similar.
