Hi,

I don't know if this is the right forum but I'll give it a try, otherwise someone could redirect me....
Anyway, I use my .Mac account for AIM services, both with iChat on my Mac and the AIM client on the PC. It turns out that some buddies (also with ordinary AIM accounts) is not seen as online when I'm logged in with my .Mac account to the AIM service, but whlile logged in with a ordinary AIM account they are. It has nothing to do with pravacy or blocking settings, that is checked. What could be causing this? Is there something fundamentaly different between the two types of accounts regarding this?

TIA

Mala

The only thing I'm aware of is that users of old AIM clients can't see or communicate with any AIM users with an atmark (@) in the username (it used to be an illegal character for AIM names).

Maybe some initial communication is necessary even to be seen on the buddy list, and this is failing on users of pre-@-compatible AIM clients, causing it to not show as being online.
