I believe many users are using pidgin and google apps. Google apps support Google Talk. Can we use it in Pidgin? The answer is yes. How to use Google apps account for Google Talk in Pidgin will be introduced in this post.
Let’s use one email address as the example: eric @ example.com
First add a new account in Pidgin. The configure the new account like this:
Basic Tab:
Protocol: XMPP Username: eric (First half of Email address) Domain: example.com (Second half of Email address) Resource: gmail.com
Advanced Tab:
Connect port: 5222 Connect server: talk.google.com File transfer proxies: proxy.eu.jabber.org
This no longer worls.
Though google changes things so often that it isn’t surprising.
