Gajim 0.16.4

The goal of Gajim is to provide a full featured and easy to use Jabber/XMPP client

Gajim is a powerful Jabber client that comes with an impressive number of features and customization options.

Setting up a new account in Gajim is quite an easy task because it all comes down to writing down the ID and the password. Of course, there are more connection options available too, and so are dedicated field concerning personal information.

With a tabbed chat window to make sure you can handle multiple conversations at the same time with minimum effort, Gajim also offers group chat support and file transfers. It offers group chat support (with Multi-User Chat protocol), invitation, chat to group chat transformation, minimize group chat to roster.

Although file transfers sometimes fail to work properly, Gajim still remains a good piece of software with support for multiple accounts, emoticons and avatars, just like any other full-featured instant messenger on the market.

Gajim works nicely with GNOME, but does not require it to run.
