Can't use it without an account with http://www.imici.com You know they run all your contacts and conversations thru their servers, that's how their service works. They have to pay for it somehow - by selling email addresses and who knows what else. -s
Re: [newbie] Linux app for MSN Messenger.
IMICI Messenger is much better than Everybuddy! Everybuddy has had some problems connecting to msn contacts. I use IMICI and it is very effective. I lets you have all your acounts in one app like your MSN, Yahoo, AOL adn ICQ. If you use it don't forget to type all of your hotmail address as your account, otherwise it will not connect to your account. eg.

Re: [newbie] Linux app for MSN Messenger.
There is a product called Everybuddy that will link up Yahoo, Aim, and MSN all within the same Client. However, Because MSN and AIM are constantly trying to twart efforts to have other software makers access their systems, you will need to D/L the beta version for the MSN support. (M$ has recently changed how clients access their system and the beta version contains the new code to allow access.)

Re: [newbie] Linux app for MSN Messenger.
Imici does as well. You have to get an account with them first, and then you can use that to connect to AOL, YAHOO, ICQ, and something else too I think. I think it's www.imici.com, but you can search for it on FreshMeat as well. tdh -- T. Holmes - UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Real Men Us Vi!
