    Hi

    I'm looking for a messanging software other than MSN and Easy Messager that works for AOL, Yahoo and MSN accounts and will also let you know when a new e-mail arrives in the Yahoo and MSN.

    I have Easy Messager but doesn't work any longer for my Yahoo account.

    Thanks

    I rather like Trillian (basic version is free and it'll connect to AOL/Yahoo/MSN) though I don't use IM all that much.

    There is odigo as well, though I haven't used it in years and don't even know if it still exists.

    I always prefered using seperate clients anyway ;)

    Gaim is free/open source and supports all the major IM protocols, yahoo!, MSN, Jabber, ICQ, IRC....

    I read somewhere recently that Yahoo! have blocked access to 3rd party apps that had support for their protocol, but I dont know what the status is with this as I dont use Yahoo!

    Gaim really is the business though..

    I agree with gaim it is also cross platform and let's you add smileys.
    It's also free (as in beer.)

    Hi all

    thanks for your feedback, dowloaded Gaim and is just what I wanted, I can connect to Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AOL and more , it does notify you of new mail in Hotmail.

    I just have 1 small problem, when I get a the notification of new mail in Hotmail and I click on "Open Mial" I have to type in my password every time, even that I have in the prefernces to save password and selected the option "Sign me in automatically" in my browser does anyone have the same problem? if I type in my browser www.hotmail.com it does work and bring me to my Inbox

    Any ideas why it doesn't save the password with Gaim?

    Thanks again
