IChat, Messages and Mail all use SSL to login to Google. More recently Google decided that SSL was not "good enough" for a login. The reason for this is every other Jabber ID is the any app would strip the part away to use the Server name as the Jabber Server Name part.Īs Google has two forms of Google Mail IDs then it would show or as the server name.Īs these two are the mail servers they don't work for the Jabber server. You had to Select Jabber as the Add option and then Add your Google ID (and Password) and then after finishing the Set up you had to go to the Server Settings Tab and manually change the Server to When I added my GoogleTalk it was when iChat 3 added Jabber abilities to iChat.Īt that time there was no separate Google Add option. However this may not be the case any more as Google may have moved everyone over to Hangouts, but I am unsure about this as I don't bother checking if I have access to other Google pages. I have been offered a Google+ account but have never "converted". It seems the GoogleTalk server will accept logins on this port as well as the normal 5223. Then in the server settings tab of the Account settings in Messages I have the SSL option set and it uses port 443 (as I can untick the "Enable this Account" box I can make changes).
#GET HANGOUTS APP FOR MAC VERIFICATION#
More recently I have not used 2 Step Verification and Allowed "Less Secure Apps" in my Google Account settings. Whilst the Mail app dos not seem to mind if you use or it does make a difference in GoogleTalk (or what was the Google Talk server). You have to make sure the ID you enter is the same as when you log in to Google.įor me, I log in to the web mail page and it shows the ID top right in full. This ID was then added to what was then iChat as a Jabber ID (Later there was a separate Google Account option). For myself I started with what was and still is a GoogleMail Account and that became usable with the GoogleTalk function that Google started some while back.
