Logging in with multiple identities at the same time

[Ren? Manggaard]

Hi all,

Is it by any means possible to log on Windows Messenger from the same
computer with multiple identities at the same time.

Optionally, does any other of the IM applications support this?

TIA

René

Greetings René,

You can somewhat do this now -- since you can use Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger 6.x
the same time. Otherwise you'll need to use another client (like Trillian --
http://www.trillian.cc) which can login to the .NET Messenger network separately in addition
to the Messenger client you already have.

Both AOL Instant Messenger (http://www.aim.com) and Yahoo Messenger
(http://messenger.yahoo.com) allow you to have multiple "identities" on at once.

Do you know if this is still on the radar for an upcoming version of MSN
Messenger?

Hi Chris,

Not that I'm aware of.
