Miranda - http://www.miranda-im.org/

However, I've just started using it last night, so I can't give you a full
review of it. But it works.

Without doubt: Miranda:

http://miranda-im.org/

Very lightweight, support for MSN/ICQ/IRC/Yahoo/Jabber/..., loads of
plugins to customize.

You can get the latest bleeding-edge test versions from here:

http://blog.miranda-im.org/

I have yet to encounter serious bugs in those test versions, and
most plugins don't work with the older, "stable" release anymore.

Wald

Yes, that is true, but the downside is: Without plugins you have only
simple texts and standard icons. You already need a plugin (AddSmily) to
enable smilies. Yahoo is neither part of the standard configuration and you
need to get a plugin for that too.

But, once one has found a nice set of icons and smilies, the program is
really cool. I like it.

Any others suggestions ??

I'm not satisfied with this very simple program Miranda.

Thanks anyway.

Personally, I think that Trillian is the best I've used despite the
bugs. However, since you asked..

Miranda: http://www.miranda-im.org/
Gaim: http://gaim.sf.net/
EasyMessage: http://www.easymessage.net/
Ayttm: http://ayttm.sf.net/

Of these, I liked Gaim the most, then Miranda, EasyMessage and Ayttm
bringing up the rear.

If you want a few I haven't tried...

Integrity Messenger, GEN2:
http://www.integritymessenger.com/downloads/im/gen2/
Paltalk: http://www.paltalk.com/PalTalkSite/
Instant-Messenger 2: http://www.messenger2.com/
