+#### I get 'Incompatible Server'
+
+As regular user you should be picking a different server. The server you selected
+is probably insecure and/or very old.
+
+If you are a server administrator you should make sure that your server provides
+STARTTLS. XMPP over TLS (on a different port) is not sufficient.
+
+On rare occasions this error message might also be caused by a server not providing
+a login (SASL) mechanism that Conversations is able to handle. Conversations supports
+SCRAM-SHA1, PLAIN, EXTERNAL (client certs) and DIGEST-MD5.

#### Conversations doesn't work for me. Where can I get help?
