This is a bit problematic, as it is not how many other clients behave (even Windows Messenger 4.7 does not do this). However, in lieu of just complaining about it, I'm trying to get around this behaviour. By the way the strange thing is that sometimes I manage to send messages. Also it seems that I experience presence problems as well. Contacts who are registered to the server are not seen on-line. Thank you, Wil
