Managing contacts in BitlBee
Your contacts, or buddy list, should have been available when BitlBee authenticated your
account. You can view your buddy list in the
&bitlbee
window with the
blist
com-
mand. This table will show the nick, the handle at the specific account, and the status of
each contact. BitlBee converts the handle into IRC-friendly names, which are the "nicks" in
the first column. It can become confusing when people use the same handle on separate ac-
counts. BitlBee allows you to rename nicks to help manage this problem. For example,
BitlBee will append duplicate nicks with an underscore, but you can rename them with the
following command:
rename gabriel_ice_ gabriel_ice_jabber
Adding contacts is also straightforward with the familiar command syntax:
add 0 gabriel.ice@gmail.com
Just remember to check your account list to know which account number to use.
