My Opera Mail Team

Hush! It's a secret!

By Johan Borgborg. Tuesday, December 6, 2011 5:32:04 PM

OK, not a secret, but we haven't bragged much about it yet..

Since this summer we have been running an XMPP server for @myopera.com users. What this means is that you can fire up your favorite XMPP/Jabber client (I usually run Adium or Pandion) and enter your My Opera Mail address and password and start chatting.

We believe in openness, so our servers accept messages from any other XMPP server. Unfortunately, that isn't the case for all services out there yet, so you might still need multiple accounts to chat with all your friends sad

PS
Don't tell anyone!

Yes, you just invite other people/usernames you know on My Opera - or on other sites that support open XMPP. We haven't integrated with the My Opera friends list yet, and it isn't perfect for this either since some of your chat friends may be on other servers anyway..

Ваш JID - просто ваш логин@myopera.com.

К сожалению, нет. Ни мук, ни другие транспорты до сих пор.

Yes, a little extra help would be appreciated.

I used mossman@myopera.com as user and my MyOpera password as pass in Trillian for Android... but no connection.

I checked the settings and it says it's using myopera.com as server and port 5222. There is an option for "legacy SSL" - which makes no difference. The only other option is "use custom resource name"... whatever that means.

Johan Borgborg Wednesday, December 7, 2011 1:03:21 PM

Server is chat.myopera.com and port can be 5222 or 5269. The client should be able to find this out on it's own, since our DNS records appear to be correct. If your computer has a proper command line you can try something like this to verify:

dig +short -t SRV _xmpp-server._tcp.myopera.com

Resource name can be safely ignored or set to something that describes your device, like "Laptop", "Work", "Phone". It will be visible to other users who can see where you are online.

MossMan Wednesday, December 7, 2011 5:45:35 PM

Well - adding "chat." to the server name seems to have done it! bigsmile

Not that I have any contacts to chat with... left right

KerenSkyy Wednesday, December 7, 2011 7:26:21 PM

confused it seems to be "username@myopera.com" in psiplus. i wonder what trillian does differently.

cheers

ytg Thursday, December 8, 2011 7:46:32 AM

not working from behind the company proxy, so pretty much useless at the moment.

Since I'm using Trillian on Android - and Trillian uses a central server to manage settings over multiple devices - that's not really going to work for me. I think it's actually the Trillian server which makes all the connections, then that serves messages to the client in Android (à la Opera Mini). For non-mobiles I think the connections are direct, but the settings are still all synchronised with the Trillian server (à la Opera Link).

be carefull with the bridge u cross 2day! because u may have 2 cross it again someday

Lorenzo CelsiLorenzoCelsi Thursday, December 8, 2011 2:54:20 PM

I am testing MyOpera Jabber service with a friend, using Miranda on Windows (Jabber plugin).
I am seeing a problem, when I am connected my friend doesn't see me online unless I force it by "send presence - online" from the message window.
That doesn't happen on Gtalk, and the protocol and the plugin are exactly the same.

I tried both SSL connection as "Secure XMPP - old style" and "Secure XMPP network", with and without setting host as "chat.myopera.com".
No difference.

I have found this on wiki:
"Miranda menu -> Options -> Network (in tree) -> Jabber (sub-item) -> Account (tab):
* Username: Your username, e.g. 'brong'
* Resource: Whatever you want, it's a "location" thing. So "Home", "Work", "Laptop" - whatever.
* Login server: Your domain, e.g. 'fastmail.fm'
* Use SSL: Checked
Expert
* Manually specify connection host:
* Host: chat.messagingengine.com
* Port: 5223"

- The "resource" field doesn't exist in current Miranda-Jabber settings.
- Login server, I have used "chat.myopera.com".
- Setting SSL means port automatically becomes 5223.

Tiago Wakabayashiozoratsubasa Thursday, December 15, 2011 7:30:28 AM

so is there any chance of a improvement of opera chat? (for a jabber-like)?

Martin KadlecBS-Harou Thursday, December 15, 2011 11:17:59 AM

Lately, I've got problem with folders with "higher" amount of e-mails (100+). When I'm scrolling down for a while then suddenly from some point e-mails stop loading theirs content and show just "Loading.." text, but nothing ever loads.

Empathy is warning me that the connection is untrusted because the certificate is self-signed.
That's not very opera-like.....

An off topic:

- How do I put a avatar for my contact?

I recommend the forums. Unless you tried that already?
