Sudden odd message trying to sign on - corrected msg for length

[Eion Robb]

Hi there,

If you're using ICQ, then you'll need to provide your numeric UIN
(123456789) instead of your email address.  Just be warned that the old ICQ
protocol could stop working at any moment (other 3rd party ICQ clients were
shut out at the end of last year), and that a new ICQ plugin is in the
works.

Just to double check, were you intentionally trying to connect to an ICQ
account and not a Hangouts or XMPP account?

Cheers,
Eion
