OK. I see what you mean now. That is a big disadvantage of using gateways. Some Linux Jabber users run their own Jabber servers and gateways to avoid that kind of account security problem. If you are gong to use Jabber (XMPP) it's probably best to IM in Jabber and skip the gateways.

@jbni

If you are such worried by security, of course you only use IM that uses SSL encryption with maximum key lenght (else your IP packets would then be able to be sniffed by any intruder between you and your service). And of course you change your passwords (all of them because of course you are using different passwords for each different service you are using) at least one every two monthes but preferably every month ?
Aren't you ?

Seriously we are speaking about IM services, that's not a big deal. And even at Microsoft's messenger division or AOL's IM department there can be misintentioned guys...

@abalaban

One can be security conscious without being completely freakin' paranoid.

Some decent reductio ad ridiculim, false dilemna, and a dash of straw man there.

As is, I've found an AIM client that works. A multi-IM client would be nice, but it's not a requirement.

(Of course, now I have to set everything back up once I manage to download the 4.1 update!)

@jbni

So in essence you have more confidence in average Joe (sorry Jahc, no offence really, Sabre seems great) coding a closed client than on an open standard and piece of software. That does sound strange to me but the main thing is that you finally found what you were looking for...

Now I'll try to download the OS 4.1 update too

@jbni

Welp, AmigAIM worked in 4.1, but in 4.1 Update 1 I get 'Failed to create MyTI Custom Class'.

Any ideas?
