Managing IM Network Accounts

Meebo supports Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Gtalk and Jabber IMing Networks. To chat with your buddies from one of these networks, you will need to add your own network account info from the respective network to your meebo account. For example, if you want to chat with your Yahoo buddies, you will need to add your own Yahoo account to your meebo account. You can add more than one account for a network.

Adding an IM Network Account

1. On your meebo page, click on the accounts link on the top.
2. A Welcome to Meebo! window will appear, with the Networks tab displayed
3. Click on Add Account at the bottom of the window
4. Add Account! window will display
   
   1. Choose a network from the list
   2. Enter your screen name for the network (note: for ICQ network, use your ICQ number; for MSN you will use either your full hotmail or MSN email address).
