Description freespacer 2009-02-26 17:13:32 UTC
Version:           0.70.0 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Hello,

I want to add a ICQ-User in Kopete to the contact list.
Kopete creates an empty entry of the user with status-icon, but
no more information like ICQ-number or ICQ-username.

If I click on the new contact, a dialog window pop up on the desktop with follow message in german:
"Der Benutzer ist momentan nicht erreichbar. Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass sie verbunden sind und verwenden Sie ein Protokoll mit Unterstützung für Offline-Nachrichtenversand oder warten Sie, bis der Benutzer wieder online ist."

In english:
"This user is not reachable at the moment. Please try a protocol that supports offline sending, or wait until this user comes online"

I think, the Kopete ICQ-protocol has support already offline protocol.
Unfortunately the ICQ-user never add or update the user information in the contact list of Kopete, if the user are online.

I look into ~/.kde4/share/apps/kopete/contactlist.xml
but I don't find the new ICQ-user with ICQ-number.
It seems, that Kopete doesn't save the new contact.

So, I classified that Kopete is broken in KDE 4.2 (Factory).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File -> Add contact
2. Enter a ICQ-number and click okay (the user will be add to contact list)
3. click on the offline-user and you see the dialog window.
4. If the user go online, you see never any message or update information of
the user.

Actual Results:  
ICQ-user information doesn't update or refresh, if user are online or offline.
The entry of user always empty.

Expected Results:  
Adding ICQ-User and retrieve information about the user. The entry of the new
user should show either ICQ-number or ICQ-username.

Please close this bug report. Currently it isn't relevant anymore for me and I can't confirmed it anymore. 8 years is a very long time. ;-)

Regards
