So it can be added if you want it. It's clear that you didn't research your question. I don't do other people's fishing. I only point to a possible solution and your new post shows... You didn't look at GAIM and more.

I've been using Easy Message now for a couple of weeks and have found it to be the easiest and most reliable client for all of AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo in a single, lightweight, package.

It doesn't have all the bells, whistles, sounds and emoticons of Trillian but, then again, it loads 5-6 times faster and uses far less RAM. In fact, it uses less RAM than any one of the proprietary clients.

Miranda seems equally lightweight but I found it to have problems with AIM connections.

Easy Message is available here.

Trillian rocks

I am a huge fan of Trillian. It's better than any individual IM client and yet lets you communicate with all of them.
