ICQ protocol support for Miranda NG.


Known problems

Protocol doesn't support setting avatars larger than 64x64 pixels. Large avatars are converted to this size.


Troubleshooting

After updating to v0.95.5 you may not be able to log into your account. The message will be: Connection failed. Your ICQ number or password was rejected.

The reason of the problem could be the following. Up to v0.95.4 Miranda didn't support ICQ passwords longer than 8 symbols. If you have ever entered a password longer than that, Miranda would store the whole password in database, but send only the first 8 symbols to server. ICQ servers did not support more than 8, too. They recently increased the maximum password length to 16 symbols. So the change was made in Miranda to meet the standards.

Miranda v0.95.5 sends the whole your "more-than-8-symbols-password" which the server justly considers incorrect and rejects it.

The solution is to go to Options → Network → <Account_name> and re-enter your password (the first 8 symbols of it).

To use a longer password, you need to set the new one through the icq.com website.
