Description Andrey 2012-06-10 09:40:51 UTC

Earlier this month Kopete is no longer deliver ICQ messages. It connect the server and receive messages. When I sent a message I see what message allegedly sent, but in fact no one get it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Kopete
2. Open a dialogue
3. Sent message
Actual Results:  
The dialogue is as if a message is sent, but it can not be reached


Also Kopete can't save my user information like a nickname, birthday, etc. So I think what Kopete can't sent any information to the server, but it can receive.
Kubuntu 11.10 x86, Kopete 1.1.3, KDE 4.7.4, NAT, all ports are opened, no proxy
Kubuntu 12.04 x86, Kopete 1.2.3, KDE 4.8.3, real fixed IP, all ports are opened, no proxy

Thanks, this solved it for me, too.

I agree.

This bug is also reported in the Red Hat Bugzilla for Fedora 17 (KDE SC 4.8.4) on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=842123 .

... and pidgin handles the situation gracefully. after that, kopete works fine again. ;)

Happened again for me. Resolved with login to the official web client and account validation with the link it gave:
>    Unable to send IM (error 451)
>    An unknown error occurred (error 451).

and delivered to me as my contact's response:

>    As a security precaution, please click the link to verify your ICQ account http://validate.icq.com/icq/validate.html?uid=177000000&sid=1335000000&lang=en.

Kopete still doesn't print an error (like web client does) when trying to deliver my messages. However how it's a bit better because messages are shown as not delivered (were sent to offline contact).
