    Pidgin ICQ - Unable to connect to BOS server Connection refused

    Hi,

    Been using Pidgin IM with ICQ for many years.
    Today I can't connect to ICQ with Pidgin?
    Get the following error message:
    "Unable to connect to BOS server: Connection refused"

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Jesse

      Same error message as first post when trying to connect to ICQ through Pidgin IM.
      Any ideas?

        Same for me. It appears it's gone for good. No idea why.

          It's on the ICQ.com server side... (owned by Mail.ru group). Apparently, here's why:
