Description Dmitry Petrov 2010-04-25 10:39:50 UTC 
Version:           0.80.2 (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Recent versions of kopete fail in case when user wants to send a message to a contact which is not in contacts list and there is no need to add a contact in it.

E.g. when user tries to send a message to a e-shop manager to find out some information.

The only way to send a message to a contact is to add it to a contact list and the to find the contact in it. And if a contact requires an authorization, it will not be shown in a list and user has to remember a nickname of the new contact and it's too much work to send a single message. I think, it's totally wrong from the usability point of view.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
