Two accounts of the same type and messaging

Post by Collider »

Hello!

I have two different jabber accounts. Set of buddies on this accounts fully separated. But when I click one of buddy to communicate with, Adium suggest me to choice what account I want to use. How I can use only default account for each buddy?

Sorry for my English :)

PS: I think this bug http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/5152 relate to my question, but don't know exactly.

Just select the right account and Adium will remember the next time you chat with that contact. :)

Thank you for response. This method works.

But it seems to me that offer the choice of account is not natural. If I wanted to be able to communicate with a buddy using two accounts, I would add it to both accounts. Can you say this is possible in future versions of the program?

That's a good point. I'll see what the developers say. :)

The behaviour you have described is expected.

He suggested to set up a couple of "Portable Adiums" with separate account lists if you want your IM sessions separate (Adium Wiki entry "PortablyAdium").

I once read about such resolution. I will try it. Thanks for your efforts. :)
