Are you familiar with GAIM?

[puffymimi]

GAIM is an Instant Messenger software primarily designed for Linux but is now available with Windows. It's cool because, through it, you can log in your multiple accounts from different providers such as Yahoo!, MSN, IRC and so on in just program. Really useful, but I havent't fully tried it yet.

I use GAIM, it works wonderfully, except with the new Yahoo Messenger, my friends aren't able to send me files. It gives them an error saying I'm using too old a version.

Woooww, using several accounts in just one program? That really sounds good

The beta keeps crashing on my XP but I've got the stable version running properly. It crashes if I log-in to my hotmail account but thats a known issue.

I only use it when I want to connect to the Gtalk network.

I use it for Yahoo and Gtalk. It crashes when trying to connect to MSN (Microsoft ****s) but with that option turned off it works just fine.

Very usable and low on memory too. Besides, it's open source.

So... it isn't working properly with hotmail and msn messenger?

I switched to trillian some time ago and i still think it's the best..u can have Yim, Msn, Icq, GoogleTalk, Aol, etc all in the same program..and with multiple accounts

[kjaonline]

yes I use it but nothings better than the original though.. I need YM and Skype for the webcam and the voice which gaim doesn't give...
does trillian do those?

[codeslayer]

can you provide me with the gaim link i too lazy to go to the website

[cabron]

I don't think trillian supports skype...but it supports almost everything else
