When you set up iChat, just change the Mobile Me option to AIM. That should let you log in just like if you were using the regular version of AIM.
 
I understand that I can use my aim account through iChat, but I was asking if there is a way to combine them. My buddy lists are very different and for example when I use aim through gmail or on my cell phone, I have to use my aim buddy list and not iChat.
 
Yeah I know I was replying to the first post, we keep replying at the same time.
