Importing Yahoo/MSN contacts to Live Messenger

Guest

I have different friends that use different IM services: Yahoo, MSN, AOL. As
a result, I have all three installed, and it is becoming a big pain.

I understand Windows Live Messenger can talk to Yahoo and the old MSN
messenger. Thinking that will at least consolidate two, I downloaded and
installed Windows Live Messenger, but cannot seem to find out how to either
import or set up the Yahoo and MSN contacts.

It may be something obvious, but can someone please enlighten me?

This program will allow you to consolidate all three:

MC,

Trillian also combines the 3:

One thing I have noticed is that it will say that you are using a different
version of the messenger & certain features may not be available. Certainly with
Yahoo it does or used to

I wouldn't know. I use GAIM in Ubuntu for IMing. I haven't used
EyeBallChat in some time but I do remember it being pretty good for
video and audio.
