Is sending an IM the same as a knock on the front door?

Use it like it's a phone that is always connected = ) If someone IMs you it's more like they're calling you than a knock on the door\n\nIf it's someone you know IMing you, you generally don't turn it down unless you want to be rude. If it's someone you don't know either not responding to them or politely telling them you don't care to chat today is fine.\n\n= )\n\nI've been using IM since I was 12 so it feels soo natural to me! It's been... 8 years?

Sure you can. \n\nThere is a search bar at the top of your screen type in something from either the subject line, of to whom it was sent.\n\nThough only good if you don't auto-erase your outgoing messages.

If you do not have AOL IM, then someone can't use AOL IM to send you a message.   If you do not have Yahoo Messenger, then someone can't use Yahoo Messenger to send you a message.  If you do not have MSN Messenger, then someone can't use MSN Messenger to send you a message. \n\nBut if you have SpyWare, you can get popup ads that might look like an IM message.  You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.\n\nThis double whammy will help keep you safe and running faster \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

don't bother with it. use GAIM it has several different im protocols, like yahoo, msn, aim all in one nifty package.

msn messenger can be troublesome at times, i find the new live version is better than previous ones for singing in with no trouble.\ni would suggest changing password if you are worried about someone else getting into your email.

There is no "Instant Message" button that you click and poof your there. It doesn't work like that! If you have Yahoo Messenger for instant and someone contacts you on it, that is an Instant Message. If your in a chat room you can do Instant Message (IM).There are several sites that you can download to recieve IM's from people on your IM list. AOL, ICQ, Yahoo, Google. and many more.

If by "message" you mean "mail", then, yes, it is possible, just sign up for one of the read-receipt services and use their service to mail the person. It sends you a mail everytime the person opens the mail with the time opened, IP from which the mail was opened and much more info.\nJust register on thei site -\nhttp://www.readnotify.com/

I believe AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and Gmail all allow you to set up alerts that send a text msg to your cell phone. But if you IM those programs will send u alerts also. I use a program called Trillian that combines AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ and that pops up a msg on my screen when I get an email.
