questions for Adium

[zoran]

Is there someway i can chat through Adium with friends (with hotmail emails) using my yahoo messenger?

Huh? You want to chat to hotmail contacts through Adium through Yahoo Messenger? That doesn't make any sense.

well why not? i have a yahoo email that is my main one and then i have many friends on msn accounts, cant i ever chat with them through Adium?

Adium is just an application that will allow you to log in directly to various services (AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, etc). So in order to chat with your friends via MSN Messenger, you'll need to create an MSN Messenger account of your own, then use Adium to log in to that account. Once you have an account, then yes, you can use Adium with the MSN Messenger service.

but how can msn messenger chat with yahoo accounts?

It's impossible. That's why I'm saying you'll need to register for an MSN Messenger account. Once you have an account there, in Adium you can be logged in to Yahoo and MSN at the same time and it's pretty seamless.

Actually that is not true, msn can chat with yahoo, you simply need to add them. I can tell you with experience it works, actually right as I write this I am chatting with my buddy on yahoo via my hotmail account.

exactly, thats what i was expecting from Adium to do, to be able to chat to friends that have different "web based mail". 😱
