Why doesn Psi update the contact list when I add contacts using other clients?
Most proprietary networks IM servers keep the contact list on the server. When a proprietary network client (be it the original client or some third party – such as Trillian, Miranda etc.) adds a contact, the contact is saved on the server. When the gateway (transport) connects to the proprietary network, it SHOULD retrieve new contacts and push them to the your Jabber roster. Unfortunately, not all gateways do this. It’s a gateway problem, it’s not a Psi problem. No matter what Jabber client you would use, you’ll get the same behaviour. Psi can’t update the contact list, since it doesn’t manage the contact list. The contact list is managed by the server and by the gateway (transport). You can solve this in two ways: • manually add the contact again, using Psi; the transport should put the contact in your roster afterwards. • Unregister and Register back with the Gateway (transport) • change the gateway (transport) with a better one (if possible) Note that Gadu-Gadu gateway supports in
