There was Pidgin for multipurpose IM. But it was ugly and didn’t have the functionnalities that mess.be gave your MSN Messenger with Messenger+.

To have those functionalities there was Kmess. It gave you username colours, chat while offline, etc. And it was (for the time) visually pleasant !

I’m quite surprised. The website still exists !!! Kmess Website
