10.1 Connection settings

jabber-username is the username part of your JID.

jabber-server is the JID of your server, i.e. the hostname part of your JID. This is usually, but not necessarily, the same as the hostname of the server.

jabber-network-server is the hostname or IP address of your server. If it is set to nil, jabber.el will use the name in jabber-server.

jabber-port is the TCP port of the server to connect to. This is 5222 in almost all cases.

jabber-password is your password. You have the option to set it here, in which case it will be stored in cleartext in your .emacs file. If this is set to nil, you will be prompted for your password every time you connect.

jabber-resource is the resource you want to log in under. This only matters if you are connected to the same account from different clients or different computers, since each connection must have a unique resource. You might want to set this to your hostname.

jabber-default-priority is the default priority sent with your presence. Regardless of what you have here, you can change your priority during a session with jabber-send-presence. See Presence, for more information on priority.

jabber-nickname is your default nickname for groupchats.
