After the first start GOIM will automatically start the preference dialog for accounts:\\ (Note that by 'Account' it is meant a local setting under which jabber user data are saved. So creating an account only means to locally set up a new jabber id/password data, and not register with a jabber server) Here you need to create an account and click on "Create". Now you can give the account a name. This is only a name under which it is known in your local preferences. Call it whatever you want to.\\ Now, if you never used jabber before you most likely have no jabber user registered on any server. In this case mark the 'Register New User' checkbox. If you wanted to register a new user you will get the above window. Here you have to choose a Jabber Id. A jabber id always consists of@ . There are various public servers under which you can register a username of your choice. (for a full list you can look at http://www.jabber.org/network/ or you simply use @sphene.net). So after you have decided which server (e.g. sphene.net) to use, decide for a username (e.g. mynick) and enter it into the Jabber Id field: e.g. mynick@sphene.net Afterwards choose a password and enter it into the two fields. Now clicking on register should connect to the specified server and register your account. If everything went fine, you should receive a confirmation dialog, otherwise an error dialog should display what went wrong and let you change the settings.
