You can use ichat if you have an aim account, it also supports it's own protocol, and anotherone called bonjure (not sure of spelling) but it doesn't support anything like msn or google/yahoo chat protocols. ichat comes with the mac though, so if you have an aim account, it may be better to start there, as no new software is required.

I greatly appreciate this.  I've owned a Mac all of six days.  It's
been a long time since I have felt so challenged learning new

for that matter
Thanks for your response.

I wonder if Microsoft will ever make its popular applications
accessible on the Mac.  This would be an excellent spot to use a
Voiceover scripting language, or AppleScript, if Apple was progressive
enough to expose the Voiceover API.

Yes, Microsoft Messenger doesn't work well at all, and if you
upgraded to Safari4 you won't be able to type at all. The only way I
found to do that is to command+tab out of the application and then
come back. It will let you type once, but once you send the message
you will need to repeat the thing again... Just use Adium...

Hey,
messenger is a bit of an obscure one to be honest. when you start
typing it automatically jumps to the compose box. No typing echos
are heard though and you have to interact with the HTML area in
order to work with your text.

I gave up on messenger and use adium now which is a cool programme,
linking your accounts from all different messengers into one,
including facebook.

Hope this helps

I'd like to know if anyone is using Messenger with success.
Thanks,
