This is a multi-protocol IM client, meaning that it -handles several different protocols including MSN, -Jabber, AOL and IRC. It also has -useful features including support for &kaddressbook;, meta-contacts, -encryption support and lots more. - - -&kopete;, the &tde; IM client. - - - - -&kopete;, the &tde; IM client. - - -&kopete;, the &tde; IM client. - - - - - -How to get started - -Start up &kopete; from the menu (it can normally be found in the -Internet folder) When it starts up you should see a window with &kopete; -at the top, menus and a tool bar below, and then your contacts below. -You should add some accounts by clicking on the -Settings menu and selecting the Configure -Kopete option. By selecting the Accounts -option you should see a list of your accounts (initially empty) and -options to add new accounts and to edit or remove existing accounts. -By clicking on the add new account button, you can -add a new account using the wizard. When you have added an account, you can -connect to this account by clicking on the relevant icon at the bottom of -your main &kopete; window. This should make your contacts appear in the -contacts window. - - - - -Meta-contacts - -Meta contacts are one of the features of &kopete; that make sense -once you figure out what they are. Until you do, they annoy you. They are -basically a way of taking a contact on one network (such as -MSN) and linking it to another contact on a different -network. This is useful for when people have accounts on different networks -as you can chat to them without needing to know which account they are -signed on to. This also lets you assign names to your meta-contacts that -don't change when people change their names on their account, this is useful -if you have contacts who insist upon setting their -MSN nick to something like -=EF=81=8A. - -You can do other useful things with meta-contacts like link them to -entries in your address book. See - - - - -<acronym>IRC</acronym> - -Internet Relay Chat (IRC) has been around far longer than most IM -systems, and is still widely used. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication. - -The #kde channel is under Freenode, the IRC server, which provides an interactive environment for coordination and support of peer-directed projects, including -- mdash; and placing particular stress upon -- mdash; those relating to free software and open source projects, such as &tde;. - - -While &kopete; has a IRC plugin, and handles both channels and nicks well, -long time IRC users might prefer a client designed just -for that role, which is what Konversation is. It supports features such -as granting and taking op status, banning, easy nick changing, special -channel support for passwords and invites, and other things that the power -IRC users expect. It also is far better at handling -large channels such as #debian. If you have used another -power-IRC client before, you should have no trouble using -Konversation. - - - - - -Linking email and messaging - -Did it happen to you? You received an email and the first thing -you would like to do is to give a reaction on it, but not by -email. So you switch to your instant messaging client and/or IRC -client and look if that person is online via MSN, Jabber or IRC. Well -&tde; 3.3 has made that a lot easier. A step-by-step manual: - -The requirements are &kmail;, &kaddressbook; and &kopete; -(Konversation should do as well). Make sure &kmail; is configured and -fully functional for email, and Kopete is well configured for IRC, -Jabber and/or MSN and/or any other protocol. - -If an email comes in from a contact you know, the first thing -you have to do is to add it to your address book. This can be achieved -by right clicking the address and choosing the entry Add to Address -Book. - -If you know the nickname which the user uses on, for example, IRC, -go to &kopete;. Go to -FileAdd -contact . In the wizard, select the -checkbox at the bottom called Use the TDE address book for -this contact and choose Next. Select -the right Address Book entry for that contact and press -Next. Now you can set the display name and the -group it belongs to for &kopete;. In the next screen select which -protocol should be used if you have set up more then one protocol. You -can select more than one protocol. After that, depending on the -protocol, there will be some other questions, which you can answer as -you like. - -Although we did specify to choose from the address book, -&kopete; has not automatically linked your contact to the address -book. So select the contact and choose -EditProperties -. On the General tab check the box -labeled Has address book entry. Press -... and select the contact. Close these two -windows. - -Now go to your addressbook, if you select the contact you will -see that it shows an extra field Presence, followed by the current -status. This status will automatically update as soon as the contact -goes away, offline, online, and so on. Now go to &kmail;, select another email and return to the original email (in other words: reload -the current email). You can now see behind the email address the -current state of your contact. - -If you want to chat with this person, just right click the -address in &kmail; and choose Chat With.... Your -Instant Messenger will start a conversation with the contact. - - - - - - - - - -- cgit v1.2.3
