Step 1: Get your account set up
If you dont have an MSN or Yahoo account, you need to create one. A hotmail account could be used for MSN. Create an MSN account at passport.net. Step 2: Get a Jabber Client App Since iChat has only basic support for Jabber, you need a Jabber Client Application to create a Jabber account. Were going to use Psi, one of many Jabber Client Applications. Step 3: Create a Jabber Account Enter njs.netlab.cz ( some people are reporting a more stable connection with jabber.freenet.de )as your Jabber server. This is a server from the Czech Republic that supports the protocols we need. To find other servers, Jabber.org provides a list of servers you can choose from.Enter your desired account info. Notice how it looks just like if it was an email address for that server. If the username is taken, it will let you know. Click on Register to continue. example::: [email protected] Use Control + Click to get the contextual menu from the servers name and make your status Online. Step 4: Register your IM Service with your Jabber server Use Control + Click to get the contextual menu from the servers name and select Service Discovery. From the Service Directory window, Use Control + Click to get the contextual menu from the desired Service and select Register. Enter your IM service login info. In this case, Im entering my MSN Messenger login info Once completed. Quit Psi and Launch Address Book. Step 5: Add Jabber formated usernames to Address Book First, you need to know someone who has an MSN or Yahoo Messenger account. From Address Book create or edit a user and add a new IM username. Make sure you specify Jabber from the pulldown menu and replace their @ symbol with a % sign. msn account name: [email protected] jabber address format sireltonjohny%[email protected] Step 6: Set up iChat for Jabber From iChat, select the iChat Preferences. From the Accounts Panel, click add to Add a new Account.Enter your Jabber account info. example::: account type: Jabber account name: [email protected] password: your password Click on the arrow next to server and put in this njs.netlab.cz Once the account is created. Select Jabber from the Window pulldown menu and make your Jabber status Available from the Jabber Buddy List. Done. You should now be able to chat with people on MSN Messenger right from iChat. For yahoo do the same steps up use the yahoo Service Discovery in Psi and in in your address book make another account there and put this for you email address jabber address format yourname%[email protected] and yahoo will work too any questions ask |

Alternatively you can use Adium to register or request a jabber account rather than the archaic PSI.

To make iChat even more useful with Jabber, download and install the essential Chax which will enable a unified contact list rather than the default separate AIM, Jabber and Bonjour buddy lists. Chax also has a lot of other features so its definitely worth while looking at.
