No IM after upgrade to 5.0 GA

[vip]

I upgraded from 5.0RC2 to 5.0GA today and a couple of weird things have shown up. To be honest RC2 appeared to work fine (even the IM feature) but now that I have upgraded to 5.0GA this feature no longer works ........ any ideas?
Also I notice when I logon as one of the users (the first user configured) instead of the column heading where is should say From in the mail view it shows the words "step 3."

All mail functions etc. seem to be working well but IM feature appears to have stopped.

just an idea for u..

is it enabled at the cos?

zmprov mc default zimbraFeatureIMEnabled TRUE

zmprov mc 'cos name' zimbraFeatureIMEnabled TRUE

[vip]

Yes tried that one with no change

I have the IM tab but the MSN and AOL icons have disappeared in the bottom right hand corner that allow the user to log on

Thanks for the suggestion

Did you restart Zimbra after running the zmprov ?

In release documentation it says that IM is disabled/removed

[jholder]

Should only be disabled. This is because is server scalability issues.
Please try:

zmprov -l -v mcf zimbraXMPPEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureIMEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureInstantNotify TRUE
restart server

Page 3 of the Release Notes - "the interoperability to connect to AOL & MSN has been removed".

In favour of Yahoo! chat ?

Yahoo isn't included yet but I imagine it's being worked on, though MSN & Yahoo have their own interop so it will be interesting to see how that works out. (BTW another cool post from Brad)
I would get something on the order of 'attempting to connect failed' when I tried selecting MSN against a Yahoo account on RC2; though it probably wouldn't have been a ton of a stretch to get it working, as I'm sure Yahoo employees will be taking a look at it.

Scalability reasons aside, if there's also a business decision such that Yahoo (& MSN) are showcased in the next release (and not AIM) so be it. Gmail recently partnered with AIM but if all three are 'showcased' & any licensing worked out Zimbra deserves a pat on the back! IM is beta this round & it's already turning out to be pretty slick.

I can't wait for more status/presence stuff to show up across the entire suite, such as the mail tab in the below mockup. Though it's starting to crop up in the address book (list view not card view) which is nice as well - see 2nd pic. Also in the emails themselves presence shows up on the to/from/cc etc lines.

Plus I wonder what voicemail stuff might be considered for 6.0+ (There's way to many other things to do for 5.5 & I'm not talking asterisk voicemail zimlet) as some code for the web client is just beneath the surface especially after all the comcast work But I'd imagine that generalizing to communicate with different services will be hard on that one, as it's much easier to build to a specific product.
Note: For those interested in using voice in your organization at the present time you should talk to zimbra sales/professional services.

I'm already happy inside & fuzzy all over that 5.0.0 FOSS GA made it in time for the holidays; made for a good stocking stuffer - ok, that's probably the eggnog talking - lol

zmprov -l -v mcf zimbraXMPPEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureIMEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureInstantNotify TRUE

I followed this steps to enable IM on 5.0.1 GA.
But I don't see any Icons to add Buddies from other Networks except Zimbra Internal. ("IM Service: Zimbra (local)").

How can I re-enable MSN and other networks?
