Adium stopped receiving ICQ offline messages

[Mac]

At least from December, 25 2015 Adium stopped receiving ICQ offline messages.

I reckon the issue remains?

Yes, the problem still exists in the newest Adium (1.5.10.1). I think, it is related with a mobile version of the official ICQ (detecting online status for push-notifications). If you used it at least once, and after that logout or even removed the app, your desktop Adium doesn't receive offline messages.

Ouch… Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I would assume this is something which would need to be fixed in the network-level library Adium uses, libpurple, which in turn is developed by the Pidgin Project. You can report the issue here: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports
