![]() ![]() You can also merge contacts from different IM programs together - I haven't bothered to do this, because there's a really easy search. Trillian also allows groups, so you could put all your Messenger home contacts in one group and all your Messenger work contacts in another group. The latest version uses a Skype plugin that allows Trillian to use Skype without me having to start it. ![]() ![]() For instance, if I wanted two Messenger accounts I can do that. I like the UI and I like that I can set up multiple IM client logins and multiple logins for the same IM program. Security WARNING, both BeejiveIM and IM+ Pro as well as Trillian store your account session ON a server allowing your connection to persist even when your mobile device disconnects, however this also means that server has your credentials at least in memory. Mobile <- I use this more than desktop IM now Trillian - used to love, however it cost money, now parts are free development is not consistentÄigsby - nice UI, was hosted with a one way client client side encryption, future unknown as it is being offloaded as open source I believe. Pidgin - ugly and stores your passwords in plain text (and always will) As far as I can tell the major 4 are: Pidgin, Miranda, Trillian, and Digsby. I just need an IM Client that logs into MSN Messenger and works from various locations at the same time. I don't need fancy, and I don't need extras. Prior to this update I was able to be logged into my MSN Messenger account from both my home and work PCs, even though they are two separate profiles/logins. Unfortunately you cannot login to the same Skype (formerly MSN Messenger) account with another Windows 8 account - which was possible before with MSN Messenger or Windows 8 Messenger (which I still HATE! as an application). You see, your Windows 8 Login is married to your Skype account (which takes over your MSN Messenger account) once you take the plunge and update as M$ suggests. So with MSN Messenger being replaced by Windows 8 Messenger and then soon Skype (which you can already do), I am in the market to switch to another IM Client. ![]()
