Other messaging services are prone to changing the underlying technology without making the details freely available, making them harder for Free Software developers to support.</para>

Although &kopete; tries to make instant messaging appear the same, no matter what protocol you use, there are some differences in the level of support for advanced features such as file transfer and multimedia.</para>
<sect1 id="protocols-list">
<title>Protocols</title>
- <sect2 id="protocols-aim">
- <title>AIM</title>
- <para>AIM supports chatrooms. Use the <guilabel>Join Chat...</guilabel> command on the AIM account menu to join a chatroom. Contact pictures and custom emoticons are also supported.</para>
- </sect2>
- <sect2 id="protocols-icq">
- <title>ICQ</title>
- <para>ICQ has an Invisibility feature which allows you to hide from selected contacts. You may also search the ICQ user folder when adding a contact. A wide range of contact details can be set using the <guilabel>Properties</guilabel> option.</para>

- <sect2 id="protocols-msn">
- <title>MSN</title>
- <para>File transfer and multi user chats work. To transfer a file, drag the file from &konqueror; or the desktop into the chat window. To invite someone else into a chat, drag them from the Contact List into the chat window. The <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu></menuchoice> menu also contains these commands. In addition, MSN supports custom emoticons.</para>
- <para>To use file transfer, make sure port 6891 is forwarded to your computer.</para>

- <sect2 id="protocols-yahoo">
- <title>Yahoo</title>
- <para>Yahoo can send and receive webcam video. It also supports Yahoo mail and the Yahoo address book from the account menu. Conferencing is also possible.</para>
- </sect2>
<sect2 id="protocols-jabber">
<title>Jabber</title>
<para>Jabber, also known as XMPP, supports file transfer, conferencing and any other services supplied by the Jabber server. For example, many Jabber servers have a user directory, and some provide transports to other messaging systems. To access services, use <menuchoice><guimenu>Services...</guimenu></menuchoice> on the account menu. Jabber file transfer can work without port forwarding, but enjoys better performance where a direct connection is possible. By default, port 8010 is used for port forwarding, but this is configurable in each account's settings.</para>

- <sect2 id="protocols-gtalk">
- <title>Google Talk</title>
- <para>Since Google Talk is based upon Jabber, it is well supported in &kopete; with the exception of voice chat, which is worked upon.</para>
- <para>To configure &kopete; for Google Talk: Use your complete Google Mail address as the user name. Check <guilabel>Use protocol encryption (SSL)</guilabel>, <guilabel>Allow plain-text password authentication</guilabel> and <guilabel>Override default server information</guilabel>. The server is <quote>talk.google.com</quote> or <quote>gmail.com</quote> and ports 443 or 5223 should be used.</para>
