Ichat won't connect to any of my accounts in Lion. It gave me some trouble in snow leo, but nowhere near this. It almost NEVER works. What can I try to fix this?

Simple fix. Disable and reenable all accounts.

I've had this happen 3 times now since upgrading to Lion. It's really frustrating, and I don't even use iChat all that much.
SOLUTION:
-Open up 'Activity Monitor' (use Spotlight to find it or go to Applications > Utilities).
-In Activity Monitor, find "imagent" and click the red "Quit Process" button. A dialogue will come up asking if you want to Quit, Cancel, or Force Quit. Select Force Quit and iChat will connect.
Is this a permanent solution or will you have to do it every time you restart your computer and try to open iChat?

Yeah AIM isn't connecting for me either. 10.7.2
aah as posted above, uncheck SSL for AIM works. Not happy with that fix but it will do for now.
You can also change the server to slogin.oscar.aol.com and keep SSL checked.
