IM Client
I use MSN Live Messenger for my main MSN account, but need another for my second account.
Been using IM2 for a while, but don't really like it. Any suggestions ? Must be free, and not merge any contacts if I were to add both accounts.

Re: IM Client
I've been using Miranda - http://www.miranda-im.org
Pretty customisable and low resource usage I've found so far - even less than Trillian (which I also found to be decent). I can say though, I found Trillian merged 2 accounts of mine once... was a proper pain in the ass :/

Re: IM Client
Giving Trillian Pro a go. Seems okay so far.
Thanks all.

Re: IM Client
Trillian if you like features and looks, Miranda if you like customisation and minimalism.
I gave away my Trillian subscription/account a year or so ago, used Miranda ever since.

Trillian Pro isn't free, if that came from Zingle (post #2) you should both know better than to a) swap warez and b) do it so blatently.

Re: IM Client
I use Trillian (and actually bought Pro) for ICQ, Google Talk and MSN (although at the moment I'm testing out Windows Live Messenger).

Re: IM Client
Trillian has a habit of not delivering instant messages, miranda is probably the best I've used so far.

That I can agree with. I also hate the fact it has different sized windows for EVERY contact - so it's a pain to resize them all to what I like

I could have got the basic version and upgraded 
Or could have taken his advice and downloaded it and bought Pro.
