| | Testing 5.0RC2 - How To Enable Instant Messaging? I've got a test server running 5.0RC2 and would like to experiment with the instant messaging feature. For some reason I cannot get it to add any buddies, and I do not see a way to set it up to communicate with MSN/AOL/etc.
Are there configuration changes that need to be made to get this stuff to work? I've looked through the docs folder and there's nothing there about it.
Help?
Thanks,
Matt |

| | IM is already enabled but as it's still beta you may have hit a bug. Is this a clean install of RC2 or an upgrade of something earlier release?

| | The original install was 5.0 Beta3, upgraded to RC1, and now upgraded to RC2.
So I was wondering if there just isn't some config file missing because I did an upgrade from earlier versions?
The IM tab shows up, but I can't add any buddies and there's no options available to add MSN or AOL connections...which I do see when I log into Zimbra's live demo of RC2.
Thanks,

| | I assume it's the Open Source version you're using as you've upgraded fro beta3? It shouldn't make any difference whether you've upgraded or just done a clean install, it should be enabled. The IM does work in RC2, I use it.
After a cursory glance at bugzilla I can't see anything relating to your description and the hosted demo is pretty much the same as the released RC2. I'd suggest filing a bug report, that's why it's still beta and we need these to fix any problems.

| | Guess I should clarify too...
I upgraded from Beta3 OSS to RC1 OSS, but now I moved to RC2 NE. Maybe that is the issue?
I guess I could try a clean install....there's no data that needs kept, I'd just have to regenerate some test accounts.

See if it's any different with a clean NE install.
