googlemail gaim msn
 

is it possible to use googlemail account (UK version) in gaim using msn protocol?

i have tried it but it didnt work, so googled around found some results that suggest you can but i obviously couldnt.

can anyone with a googlemail account, not gmail, let me know if they are able to, and how?

we have recently changed ISP to TalkTalk and personally i think their rubbish, because i cant access all sights, email with google included!

cheers in advance

you should use jabber as the protocol. search for the instructions they are there on google.

thank you for your advice I have now got googlemail setup on jabber and it signed on fine.

i want to use only one email account, that means googlemail, i wanted to still be able to chat with my friends on msn messenger. does jabber enable me to do this? i noticed that of all my contacts on my googlemail account only two of them were showing (off-line) where is the rest?

in other-words is there a good user manual in the house.

I don't see why you can't use a @googlemail.com address with MSN. You did register for a Passport, right?

ive got a hotmail account i dont know if that means its registered

You can use that Hotmail account for MSN then. If you want to use your @googlemail.com address (or any other address that isn't a Hotmail one) with MSN, you need to set up a Passport.

do I need to setup a passport even though im using gaim?

btw - im currently playing with Gabber, has anyone had success, contecting MSN and googlemail IM to this?

Yes, because you're still using the MSN protocol.
