Trillian, is a lifesaver of a program that lets you manage all your instant messaging services in one application, but it’s in a little trouble right now because AIM is not working. Even following the suggestion to fix the program doesn’t always work (it didn’t for me). According to the Web site:
Many of you reported difficulty connecting to AOL this morning, and the fix is to go into your preferences (Prefs->AIM->Misc) and turn off the "Activate SecureIM Capabilities" feature.
NOTE: If you still cannot login and receive a “you’ve logged in too many times” error, wait 5-10 minutes for the flag to clear on the servers.
Cerulean Studios, the makers of Trillian, is working to remedy the problem. I tried shutting down Trillian and letting it rest, then logging back on. AIM still shut down.
This news overshadows a new release: 0.72. Ouch.
