Subject: Facebook conversations with agsXMPP
Hello,

I am currently working on a Facebook messenger in wpf and agsXMPP seems to be the best solution.
I implemented already the simple 1-on-1 conversations, i can get the contact list and their avatars (actually using graph api for avatars), but i have 2 problems that i cannot solve:

1.) How can i communicate with a group of persons? Like a group chat on facebook. In facebook, you have that conversation id when you invite 2 persons to chat with you. Can i send a message based on that id? And how can i get all the conversations' ids?

2.) How can i retrieve unread messages? Like, offline messages? I kept searching but nothing came up.

Anything would help.
Thank you very much,
Cosmin

Facebook has developed its own XMPP server. They have implemented only a small subset of XMPP. As far as I know group messaging (called MUC in XMPP) is not on their roadmap. But you can ask the developers directly here in thier Facebook XMPP developers group:

When you go online again then a XMPP server must send you all offline messages automatically. But I don't know if Facebook has implemented this feature to thier XMPP server.
