Instant Messanger Client

[Dolanor]

For my part, I'm testing the 5 RC1, and the MSN gateway is working (but still have some bugs with oftenly disconnection, compared to my old ejabberd +pyMSNt)

I must admit that zimbra is a great software, I really like it a lot. But there are some things to be done IM-client side to be really good There are some time bugs while writing to a contact then it is sending in another window, being invisible to other server jabber user (like gmail) etc etc.

Since at the moment, it lacks stability client-side, I want to use a client like psi or gajim. But I cannot connect to the jabber server from the outside. Do any of you know how to do this ? I think it is about the configuration of the server (Wildfire ?), but I didn't find where to do this. Any tips ?

The IM in Zimbra 5 is not really ready for use yet and won't be until release 5 goes GA - it is still beta software. If you think you've found bugs then please file them in bugzilla (check if they've been filed already).

Personally I think they should use a Jabber-based IM client/server. Would probably make things easier to integrate.

Perhaps you like to read this for the current status.

After reading that, I'm not sure if they're going to keep the IM server/client in the Zimbra Suite. Either way....the IM client works nicely as is.
