I have several iMac systems, all updated to 10.5.3 and running iChat 4.0.3, but only one of them reliably permits me to add new buddies!
On my main system I can add a new buddy by selecting an entry from my Address Book, and it adds it to the list grayed out and then makes it solid, apparently after asking the AOL server if it is OK.
On the other systems, the entry is added to the list grayed out, and then an alert is displayed and the new entry in removed from the list. The alert indicates that the server has refused the request!
If that same 'buddy' initiates an iChat session, the buddy entry is automatically created and remains in the list and is functional.
I have tried trashing all of the related plist files and changing iChat to use port 443, to no avail. It still fails to permit new buddies to be defined (except on my main system, which is working fine).
Does anyone know what other differences may exist between the systems that might result in this problem?
