Receiving AIM Offline Message In Pidgin ¿¿??

As we all know since Version 6x AIM has been able to support offline messaging.

Well in my new and strongly going "Live Free & Run Light" project I have switched from AIM to Pidgin Portable with the intention of getting the same great and fresh chatting experience without making my computer registry a mess plus not having AIM running so many processes + viewpointplayer all hugging my memory.

Here is where I need your help. How can I get pidgin to receive AIM offline sent [to me] messages? So far, all thanks to the plugins, I'm now able to send offline messages out to my buddies, but I'm not able to receive their offline messages.

I did some research online and I ran into this article

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/1229

Based on that article the current version of Pidgin fully supports offline messaging with AIM. SO Imask, how do I enable this? Why am I not able to receive a single offline message? Does the offline feature works both ways with any of you?

Thanks for you help.

Can anybody help?

Any help, suggestions, feedback or any comment with what you know or might know is welcome. I really need this feature and I would hate to have to go back to AIM.

Thanks

It would seem that the Pidgin site you linked to above would be the best place to ask as it seems more like a Pidgin question than a Pidgin Portable question and no one here has responded in a couple of weeks Sad

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

I just tested this with my

I just tested this with my pidgin portable installation and offline messaging works. I have two aim accounts and sent from one to the other while it was disabled and offline.

I signed back in and they came through fine.
