Pidgin: Setting Up Google Apps Accounts

My mail: luksd -.at.- misena -.dot.- edu.co

These accounts "@misena" are provided by google through gmail, and accounts use googletalk too. The issue is that I don't know how to fill up the blanks in
the "manage accounts" on pidgin

Protocol: Gmail or misena?

Username:luksd

Domain: ?

Resource:?

If anyone can help me. thanks in advance

Google Apps

If the accounts are managed using Gmail from within Google Apps, then it shouldn't be hard at all to set up.

Protocol: Google Talk
Username: luksd
Domain: misena.edu.co
Resource: Portable

The resource really doesn't matter, it just serves as kinda an identifier when logging into your account from different locations, so in this case 'portable' would be a wise choice.

Hopefully that works for you, if you have an issue, let me know.

Not at all

I don't understand, When I downloaded pidgin at first time (4 months ago) I could set up that account. Now i get this message.

Could not establish a connection with the server:
Error resolving misena.edu.co: 11001

thanks anyway.
