    Add a contact

    Now you have connected Kopete and your account. The window should look like this:

    Connected


    To add a contact press Add in the toolbar and choose your account (in this case it is your UIN), or you can use the menu File -> Add Contact -> your account. There you can enter the UIN of the person you want to add.


    If you do not know the UIN, but perhaps the nickname or the e-mail address of a person, it is also possible to search for your contact. Click on the Search button.

    It is also possible to search UINs


    Being added

    If you use ICQ, it is very likely that you will get added by someone else. If this happens, Kopete will display a message which contains the UIN of the person who wants to add you to his list.

    authorization request


    To get more information about the person click on Info.... A window will open which contains all the information available about the person.

    Information


    Now you can authorize or block the person. If you authorize, you can chat with him and vice versa, if you block him, he can't talk with you.

    Chatting

    To chat, click on one of your contacts. A chat window will appear. There you can type your text and send it.

    Chat with your contacts


    It is also possible to send messages to persons that are offline. They will receive your message as soon as they go online.

    Spam

    Sadly, there is a lot of spam (spam are messages you don't want, usually advertisement or viruses) on the ICQ network. To avoid spam, you should authorize only people you know. There is nothing you can really do about this problem. Just ignore them!
