Zugang zu den verbreitetsten Instant Messenging-Systemen über ein einziges Programm bietet Gaim. Der Messenger ist kompatibel zu den Clients von MSN, Yahoo, AIM (AOL), ICQ, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise und Zephyr.
Alle Accounts lassen sich parallel offen halten. Und natürlich hat man Zugriff auf die wichtigsten Funktionen der unterstützten Netze: Dateitransfer, Abwesenheitsmeldung, Schreibinfo...
Gaim bietet aber auch weitergehende Features: automatischen Chat-Mitschnitt etwa oder konfigurierbare Abwesenheits-Antworten. Wenn ein Freund offline geht, sich verbindet oder aus dem Leerlauf zurückkehrt, schlägt Gaim "Buddy-Alarm" - entweder per Anzeige, Ton oder Program-Launch. Auch ein Proxy-Server lässt sich einstellen.
