Good IM client? (58 comments)

( Journal: ESR)

Posted by Six16 @ 12:45 CDT, 31 August 2008 - iMsg

hacked or something

Installed a fresh version of XP last night, signed into msn (an old version) to chat with mates after, went bed and left my pc on as always...

woke up to go work, go to check my email and it says my password is wrong, try again etc, still not working!

I try and reset it, but my security question is just a bunch of boxes with numbers in em, and i have no idea what my answer is...

So i dont have a clue what happend!

ive had to make a new hotmail account so i can chat with my friends tonight, but its utter gay

plus i had about 4k worth of emails dating back to like 2001 or something, so im sure theres some security information within my emails somewhere.

Fuck sake. :(

update, finally got it back \o/

Anybody recommend a good IM client? (that uses msn?)

MS can sort it out if you contact them and jump through a lot of hoops

report it and see if you can get that shit back. i'm sure hotmail has ip logs or whatever (like gmail does).

that's interesting

is it possible to look at the logs of the ip numbers that have logged onto your gmail account from the level of a gmai user?

msn messenger at one point

I think you can use any email for it now though

By

spyteman - Reply to #9

yeah you can, I'm using a german email for it. just sounds to be overall quite shit seeing as just about every forum/game/application form/whatever has a note that hotmail users might not get the mails, or are not allowed, or might be lost in spam filters, or.... wtf really

<< Comment #14 @ 17:26 CDT, 31 August 2008 >>

By

Aaron - Reply to #11

that's more a result of shitty spam filters as far as my experience goes

Never had a problem not getting mail, it either arrives in my inbox or ends up in the junk folder, never have I not received an email that I had knowledge was coming.

ive had my hotmail account since 2000 something too. i got it when i started using msn messenger, and ive had the same ever since. too much hassle to change msn adress.

using the hotmail to register at forums etc, but gmail for private mails.

Thats strange, pidgin has been by far the most robust client for me. Even cross network, I have never had it crash, and I have been using it for years (back when it was gaim).

A good im client is an oxymoron. Just use irc like the rest of the >90 iq people.

ermmm...in Severity, a SF movie, appears a subliminal message, its purpose is to start someone's subconstient to manifest. The starting "code" is when it pronounce "Miranda" :)

And I don't know who lied to you saying that it's good. In fact, it's just the opposite. Konnekt, miranda or tlen are all fine Polish IMs, though.

It was only a joke, a polish love interest hijacked my pc and installed it on my PC, so that I could stay in contact with her.

BitlBee brings IM (instant messaging) to IRC clients. It's a great solution for people who have an IRC client running all the time and don't want to run an additional MSN/AIM/whatever client.

I'll second all the pidgin suggestions above, it really is a nice program. Plus you can have fun for the first couple of days if you activate the 'psychic' plugin so you can say something to someone who was typing to you but hasn't sent yet. Worth it for a giggle :P

What's wrong with windows messenger (Not live messenger). No annoying sounds. Just simple and effective.
