Version: 0.3 (using KDE 4.8.0) OS: Linux When I add a gmail account to my jabber account. The Account is listed in my contacts without a status, the other person never recieves an authorization request and I'm never authorized to see his status. But I can talk to him and he'll see me in his contact list - without a status too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Add a gmail account. Actual Results: Contact is added and recieves a request to authorize me to see his status. Expected Results: Contact is added to the list, and that's all. OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.2.0-15-generic Compiler: gcc My account is from jabber.org From the contacts 'Show info' page: Contact can see when you are online: NO You can see when the contact is online: WARNING Contact is blocked: NO
This definitely works for me and some other people, so we need to work out what's different in your case. What client is the other person using? Could you add another gmail contact and see if it's reproducible for you.
Philip, does this still happen to you?
I've added many contacts via GMail. Works for me, and original reporter hasn't updated. Closing
