Gaim - 11.40MB (Open Source)

Pidgin (previously called Gaim) is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.

Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.

Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more.

Pidgin 2.2.0 changelog:
Sean: 2.2.0 contains the results of several major Google Summer
of Code branches bringing some new, extraordinary features. We
have a new protocol, MySpaceIM, a bunch of new features for an
existing protocol, XMPP, and nifty new certificate management
to make sure your IM server is who it says it is.

Ka-Hing: A number of you noticed crashes when dragging windows
around when certain options are enabled. Well, that was my fault,
and Sadrul fixed it. So Props to him and poos to me. I haven't
done much for this release, but the next one should contain
something that I helped work on. Hint: students are cheap slave
coders!

Kevin: I haven't really been coding much in Pidgin, and this
release is no exception, but I will be working on getting our
wonderful web site to be a little more functional by next
release. I promise!

Eudora 8.0.0 Beta 1

Eudora 8.0.0 Beta 1

QUALCOMM Inc - 6.75MB (Freeware)
Eudora is the best email program for people who get lots of email. If you're not one of those people now, you will be soon. So, take control of your email before it takes control of you. Eudora is more than a way to send and receive messages - it's a powerful email management tool with features to increase your productivity and enhance your communications.

ScamWatch combats "phishing" schemes that use disguised URL's to gather personal information. Eudora now detects if the URL in the link differs suspiciously from the host name and warns you to exercise caution before making the connection.

Version 8 of is now open source and based on Thunderbird. The Penelope project's intention is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It's *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.

We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.
