Messaging with Gaim
Gaim (command
gaim
) is a powerful instant messenger client. It supports vari-
ous protocols, such as AIM, ICQ, GroupWise, IRC, Jabber, MSN, and others. Its
most popular features include the ability to log in to multiple accounts on mul-
tiple instant messaging networks at the same time, automatic text replacement,
and spell checking. Gaim has buddy pounces (known as “buddy alerts” in AOL
Messenger), meaning that you can configure Gaim to notify you whenever one
of your buddies enters or leaves a channel to which you are currently connected.
Gaim can send you a message announcing this, play a sound, or execute a com-
mand.

tifications’. To select a buddy icon for your account, open a file dialog and choose
one. Additional options, such as proxy settings and server addresses, can be con-
figured after clicking ‘Show more options’. Once you have completed your ac-
count settings, leave this dialog with ‘Save’.
