I'm looking for an IM client that will do several things. First, I need it to support Yahoo, MS Messenger, and AOL IM accounts. I also would like the program to check POP, Hotmail, and multiple Yahoo and GMail e-mail accounts.
Here's what's probably going to make things a little more complicated. I messed around with iChat a little and got myself and my wife's MBP to see each other's usernames via Bonjour. We've used it quite a bit to easily send files back and forth and text chat. Is there an IM client that can do all the stuff I first mentioned, plus Bonjour-based chat capabilities?
-
Adium will do the first thing...I don't think it can check all the email for you.
-
I second Adium. Quite a nice Application.

I agree Adium. What chat client checks all of those emails at the same time? And why on earth would you want to use a chat client to manage that many email accounts?
-
So if Adium will work for all the IM'ing I need, do you guys have a suggestion for an e-mail notifier that will handle all of those account types?
Thanks for the suggestion of Adium, everyone. I'll see how well that works out for me.
EDIT: I realize that Cerulian Studios is working on a Mac version of Trillian, but it isn't out yet. -
Ever think of using something like Mail.app with Growl. Or even forwarding all of your mail to Gmail and using Google Notifier with Growl? Just another solution.

stealthsniper96 What Was I Thinkin'?
adium for IM. how do you set up growl w/ mail?

I started messing around with Adium, and it's pretty good so far. I'll just look for some separate e-mail notification program.
