How to get an alias with QQ Mail
Some of my friends asked me how can I have a mail like mypseudo@qq.com. It’s quite easy with QQ mail to have that, just go to the settings (設置), then to account (帳戶). We have one button to open a mailbox with an English name (註冊英文郵箱帳號).
Just follow the instruction to write the account name, then.. you’ll have the possibility to use this name as alias. Now when you write a mail, don’t forget to check if the account is the right one (發件人).

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.
