How can I connect to Google Talk?

  • Contact ID: user@gmail.com
  • Password: password_from_your_gmail_account
  • Switch on "Use secure connection" in the Connection tab
  • Select the "Use TLS and SASL" option

There is a second way:

  • Contact ID: user@gmail.com
  • Password: password_from_your_gmail_account
  • Switch on "Use secure connection" in the Connection tab
  • Select the "Use TLS on separate port (old)" option
  • In the Login tab, enable the option "Plain text password"
  • Host (Server tab): talk.google.com
  • Port (Server tab): 5223

Note: as you do not need to register a new account with GMail, the above information either needs to be edited in the Profiles dialog, or in the Login dialog.
