    Hi,

    I'd like some suggestions on what multi-protocol IM client to use.

    I have used miranda and pidgin. Both are fantastic however neither allows offline messaging to msn contacts.

    Its really annoying not being able to chat to your friends just because their status is offline. Very annoying when people using msn send you messages whilst your offline but you can't receive them since your not using windows live.

    I was thinking perhaps trillian might have the feature?

    Thanks for your help
