But now Portable is encountering some unknown error that keeps shutting it down, so I'm download Pidgin and Digsby right now. I hope they work. :/ I used Miranda Portable for a while, then switched to the full client, then had to switch back because MirandaIM wouldn’t allow me to login to AIM.

Plug-ins Pidgin - free plugins, easy to install and use plus has the best plugin of all time in guifications Miranda - free plugins but u have to have a plugin to even do the most basic stuff such as get sound out of it. the installation of plugins r more complex than pidgins even Trillian - 90% cant be used without the pro version of trillian i know ppl like the system resources of miranda but without sound its meaningless plus the fact its the hardest of the three to reinstall camera on trillian means nothing if thats what u use it for since sightspeed is made solely for webcams ((and free)), thus no advantage to trillian there simplicity and quality of plugins and use make pidgin winner. its easy to install and uninstall ((unlike miranda)) and has free plugins ((unlinke trillian)) so in the end ur taking simplicity of pidgin vs resource friendly miranda and webcam of trillian. ive tried pidgin, miranda and trillian

miranda – is a pain, if something happens to the profile, it doesnt work and u have to reinstall windows to get it to work plus the add-ons arent anything to rave about.

trillian – has crashed on me countless times when ive use aim. its ugly, it requires quicktime and now has a toolbar option when installing it. i also hate the fact you cant go to an all black screen on it.

pidgin – king of the mult im. most stable, best add-on in guifications ((if you havent tried it, do now, i guarantee more pidgin convertors afterwards.)).

Plug-ins
Pidgin – free plugins, easy to install and use plus has the best plugin of all time in guifications

Miranda – free plugins but u have to have a plugin to even do the most basic stuff such as get sound out of it. the installation of plugins r more complex than pidgins even

Trillian – 90% cant be used without the pro version of trillian

i know ppl like the system resources of miranda but without sound its meaningless plus the fact its the hardest of the three to reinstall

camera on trillian means nothing if thats what u use it for since sightspeed is made solely for webcams ((and free)), thus no advantage to trillian there

simplicity and quality of plugins and use make pidgin winner. its easy to install and uninstall ((unlike miranda)) and has free plugins ((unlinke trillian)) so in the end ur taking simplicity of pidgin vs resource friendly miranda and webcam of trillian.

I usually use Miranda IM when using any IM network, it basically supports all protocols, ranging from MSN, Yahoo too Jabber and IRC, complete with thousands of plugins and skins to customize it all to your own likings and style.
