this weekend i dumped the Miranda setup for Psi - and my penkberry couldn't be happier. i don't know exactly what wasn't working (besides spastic transports) and why it's better now, but it simply is. main changes:

• with Miranda i used my goog info for the jabber ID, but when i set up Psi i chose to create a true jabber.org user ID.
• after trying out several different clients i settled on jabber.anywise for MSN, and jabber.no for y!

aside from users having notices saying i'm using a different version of y!messenger, no real whammies. even with that disclaimer, all messages seem to transmit fine. on occasion, the y! transport will sign-off, but google talk lets me sign back in from the handset. then all is well again.

i like the hotmail inbox alert, although with t-mo being ahead of the game with y!mail those extra alerts can be kind of annoying. but i'm not going to gripe. (although it would be nice if just one server would have solid support for both transports...)
