Which do you guys prefer?
And what app do you use for it?
Well normaly I don't use IM, but I have a yahoo account. At MSN I will register at 30th February. Promised :twisted:
Kmess and Licq
I use Kmess that is a MSN client for KDE, and
LICQ for the ICQ network.
I've tryied also Kopete.

I used licq for a long time. But know I use kopete with icq and aim.
Works fine!
Bye,

I now use gaim for msn and kopete for icq, gaim because kopete doesn't support msn protocol proxying. I've used licq for quite a long period but now kopete is sufficient. And often for instance when I need file transfers I use IRC
Most of my friends are on AIM, so I use Gaim to IM with them.

Hi guys!
I have used GnomeICU and Licq but now I prefer Sim :lol:
and for IRC..... I love Kvirc
Most of my friends are on AIM or MSN. I use Gaim for both. For IRC, I use Xchat.
The only substitute for bad manners is fast reflexes.
AIM, MSN for only 3 people.
Uses the Netscape IM (AIM), GAIM, AMSN, or Everybuddy in LindowsOS.
I also have a Yahoo account
I would use SIM-ICQ but I can't connect anymore
I use GAIM now and I did a heavy sorting out of my list into different categories, etc., and then when I used normal AIM on a Windows machine, it says it can't get my buddy list....
kopete
back in the day i used to use licq and really liked it. but then a bajillion IM networks appeared and it became quickly apparent that a multiprotocol client was what i was going to need. every single one i tried was broken or somehow completely horrible.
fortunately kopete finally came along and it's everything i need. no, it isn't xchat when it comes to IRC, but it's good enough for the chatting i do, and its support for the other networks i use is great. so i'm a happy camper.
it still has a ways to go on several fronts before its The Killer IM client, but when it is released with KDE 3.2 i have no doubt that is exactly what it will be.

I've been using Psi for a time now and find it works fine to keep me in touch with all of my friends on MSN, Yahoo, ICQ & Jabber. In particular I find the intergration with the system tray really nice!

same here, but now with the new Kopete that has some major bug fixes i am now happy. also im glad they setup a debian mirror for kopete on sf.net
gaim is still good but i prefer kopete because its intergration with KDE is greater.
I use Jabber, its always been Psi for me, but I've also tried kopete and konverse.
Are there any other QT based Jabber clients that I should look at?
Re: IM's
Psi is not really feature-rich jabber client, but I like it for usability.
And again, an integration with proprietary IMs is good enough.
(ICQ gate is still unstable and crashes several times a week)
Kopete & other ICQs on KDE
Have been trying numbers of ICQ clients for KDE, but recently installed Kopete, and wow :-) Finally something that just works, and looks okay too .. Currently using 0.5 but 0.6 looks to be even better!
So long and thanks for all the fish !

I have a ICQ, AIM, and a Yahoo account, I'm just waiting for the yahoo plugin before giving kopete a serious try, until then i keep using gaim. I do like the looks of kopete, but i don't want to run 2 separate IM clients when 1 can do everything.
