iChat: Using Yahoo and MSN

You can use Yahoo and MSN with iChat, but it requires using a XMPP (formerly jabber) gateway.  MacAppStorm has a great write up on how to configure using PSI.  The only additional caveat that I can add is that I ended up using a different gateway than the one suggested in their write-up.  xmpp.ws was down when I was testing this out, so I chose jabber.iitsp.com

    I've been using aMSN for a couple of weeks and it's similar to the MS MSN. The video chat, however has problems. I installed Mercury and will give it a try.

    Thanks! I followed the instructions from the site using the jabber you suggested and it worked like a charm. One question: will I be able to have video chats with my MSN account?
  • Unfortunately, jabber transport doesn't support video chat. There is an open source msn client out there, http://www.amsn-project.net/

    I haven't used it, so if you give it a try - let me know how it works out.
