Okay since I been trolling the wiki, second life forums and google the last few hours, I still hav'nt figured this out, I want to get key to "person X" (insert what ever name) so i can IM this person from my email.

I been trying to keep contact with some friends from work, where I only have the ability to view internet pages and would like to keep in touch with some of those since my work is much stand-by.

So could someone please tell me how I can get the key to "person x" so I can use the email IM system, like so: "KEY@im.secondlife.com"

I tried to browse the wiki for this, but i was never able to find anything related to this - it was all going in circles.

Thanks in advance.

Basically you'll have to have them touch, collide, or be in range of a sensor (or in the case of sensors, an object they own, via llDetectedOwner)

Humm, so you want to give them your key? There's many items available for free that you can touch that will tell you your key.

Okay let me state it again:

How do i get key to, say "John Smith"? Just like that the string "John Smith", is what i got. Is it possible? And I need the KEY I can use to email to @im.secondlife.com, without the key going expired all the time.

Drop this script into a fresh new cube, deliver the cube to your friends, and have your friends drop the cube onto the ground.. Their key will be IM'd to you for use as you wish:
CODE
default {
on_rez(integer start_param) {
llInstantMessage(llGetCreator(), llKey2Name(llGetOwner()) + " - " + llGetOwner());
}
}

Something to note:

@im.secondlife.com does /not/ take the avatar's UUID as the address. It takes a session UUID which is temporary (and represents a unique value for both the sender and reciever), you cannot initiate an offline IM remotely. You have to have someone send you an IM to email, first.

So how come there is'nt a way to start offline IM conversations, it would be quite practical for other people aswell.
