Use QQ with Adium for Mac OS X
As most of chinese Mac users know, we don’t have a lot of choice to ue QQ. We have the basic official QQ 1.0 Beta1 desktop client, but it’s still a very poor interface, and seem to have no development on it. We also can use the web client, it’s very complete, but it’s not a desktop application.
I use Adium for my other account (msn, jabber, facebook, gtalk,..) but the login with QQ was nonfunctional with the lastest version of this software. But we are lucky and now there is a way to use QQ on Adium.
First you should download the beta version of Adium (1.4b17 actually), install it, and configure your QQ account. Then you should go to the Options tab, and modify like this:
- Login server: 219.133.49.215
- Port: 8000
- Uncheck the TCP connection
- Select the 2008 client version.
Then you can connect to QQ with Adium, there is no special option for QQ, but it’s still better than the basic client provided by Tencent.
I'm QQ
u saved my day! Thanks!
Adium 1.4b8 can connect to QQ it too. no need of login server and port, but check tcp connection and 2008 client version.
mate, i followed your instructions but it wont work. could it be something wrong or some new setting with the new beta version of adium 1.4b18?!
cheers
Tried 1.4b18. Can send but cannot receive.
Worked out well, though I had to upgrade to the beta version of Adium 1.4b19, thanks mate
It didn’t work on my Adium 1.41. Cannot connect with or without your instructions. Any idea?
Hey Mycado is this procedure still working? I have try with pidgin on a linux system and no go was thinking on triying adium with my mac and see if it would do it.
Ill post my result but if you have any insight would be highly appreciated.
I’m using Adium 1.41, can’t connect though QQ
Doesn’t work for me. Adium never gets to connect to my account because it keeps giving me QQ captcha verifications. Have there been any changes recently?
