I am trying to setup for Googletalk. I'm using Google Apps with my own domain. Pidgin keeps saying "unable to connect". I'm a bit confused, and the "user manual" is missing info, like setting up the account fields.
My email address is "richard@mail-xpress.com" and I have the fields filled in like this:
protocol = XMPP
Username = richard
Domain = mail-xpress.com
Resource = (blank) (what is this for?)
Password = (correct password)
Create this new account on the server = unchecked
Advance & proxy tabs are default.
What am I doing wrong?
I have my username

Thanks! I took the easier route, and changed Advanced | Connect server to talk.google.com.
