Am looking for an all-round Messenger for Ubuntu, especially one that supports Webcam, Voice Chat, Microphone, Drag/Drop support, File sending and other normal operations a messenger should have. I have tried Amsn, Kmess, Emesene, Pidgin and I am currently using Emesene. What messenger client would you recommend and what features do they offer in terms of:
- Webcam
- Voice Chat
- Drag & Drop Support
- File Upload/Download
- Emoticons
- Skin Theme
- Ubuntu Notification Compatibility
- Compatibility With other Messengers
- Updated Messenger (There are many that their last update was when Star Trek 1 came out)
- Compatibility with Email services (Sites like Yahoo, Hotmail or Google and their services like Google talk)
- Any other you can think of.
What (unique?) features does your messenger client offer?
NOTE - I have posted some messengers from a little over 2 years of experience with each (I normally install several messengers) to help anybody that wants to try any of them.
