Aplicaciones de mensajería instantánea multiprotocolo

Una aplicación de mensajería instantánea multiprotocolo es un software cliente de una aplicación de mensajería instantánea que puede conectarse a múltiples redes de mensajería instantánea. Algunas redes con soporte son: AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Jabber/XMPP (incluyendo Google Talk, Gizmo5, y a otras redes basadas en XMPP), MSN Messenger, QQ, Yahoo! Messenger, así como las redes especializadas, tales como Novell GroupWise y Zephyr. Algunos ofrecen una interfaz de mensajería instantánea IRC.

Información sobre los protocolos de mensajería instantánea que soporta cada cliente.

Note 4: Plugin available, but requires installed and running Skype.

Note 5: LAN and chat protocols supported for Miranda include NetSend, WinPopup, Novell Netware NCP, BattleNet, Vypress Chat, Quick Chat, and Walla Chat.

Note 6: Uses the AIM TOC2 protocol, which has fewer features than the Oscar protocol the official client uses. An Oscar plugin is available, but is still in early development.

Note 7: Plugin available [2]

Note 8: Can only enter one ICQ/AOL IM account, so users who have both an ICQ number and an AOL IM account name, can't use both.

Note 9: Text-based messaging only; does not support Bonjour/iChat's audio IM functionality.

Note 10: Probably text-based messaging only, without support for Bonjour/iChat's audio IM functionality.

Note 11: Plugin available, but requires Skype to be installed and running.

Note 12: AIM interoperability: can send/receive to AIM from an ICQ account.

Note 13: The support is optional. It currently isn't feature-complete, but basic operations should be fine.

Note 14: Claims to be supported, though frequently fails to receive or deliver messages, and tends to crash when receiving multiuser chat invites or file transfer requests.

Note 15: Feature incomplete. Lacks service discovery and transport support, making user search, multiuser chat, connections to other IM networks via XMPP difficult or impossible.

Note 16: Yahoo! Messenger interoperability: can send/receive to Yahoo! Messenger from a Windows Live Messenger account.

Note 17: Windows Live Messenger interoperability: can send/receive to Windows Live Messenger from a Yahoo! Messenger account.
