Comment(by w0und):

 I have 2.6.6 installed and just tried to connect with one of my aim names
 that has an _ in it. I get the error "Unable to sign on as anon_w0und
 because the username is invalid.  Usernames must be a valid email address,
 or start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers and spaces, or
 contain only numbers."

 I know my screen name is valid because I made it on the aim.com website. I
 was able to add screen name to accounts tab just not connect to aim
 service with it. I tried to login to my screen name through their web site
 and it worked fine.
