Version: 0.60.1 (using KDE 4.1.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When trying to add a perfectly valid screen name to your AIM buddy list such as user@domain.com Kopete reports, "You must enter a valid AOL screen name". This behaviour is incorrect. The validation code should be modified to allow jabber-like addresses. FYI: I'm not sure when it started but AOL does allow connections via federated channels (such as Jabber/Gmail) to their chat network. You can even use the Jabber protocol to connect to AIM if you use their XMPP gateway (xmpp.oscar.aol.com). For reference, a buddy list downloaded from the server containing user@domain.com addresses works fine in Kopete. The only thing that appears to be broken in this context is the validation code that prevents users from adding new addresses to the buddy list.
Could you tell me (mail me) exactly the AOL screen name that doesn't work because user@domain.com works.
