Miranda IM is a smaller, faster, easier instant messenger with support for multiple protocols. Miranda IM is designed to be resource efficient and easy to use while still providing many features including support for AIM, Jabber, ICQ, IRC, MSN, Yahoo, and more. Supplemented by hundreds of plugins and other content, Miranda IM is very flexible and provides many avenues for customisation.   The Miranda IM 0.6.2 release fixes some critical issues with the AIM protocol that prevented users from receiving messages.  Improved UPnP support along with several bug fixes are also included.  If you are using Miranda IM 0.6.1 or earlier, this is a required upgrade to ensure proper functionality with AIM.
