Stupid trick on Miranda

So you sadly have to use Windows. Poor soul. And you must use IM at work, but there are several protocols and logins you carry with you. Of course, there is Gaim but it doesn’t “fit” on the Windows look. But wait, there is Miranda, super-light-weight and support for multiple protocols. Happiness.

Except for one thing: it doesn’t support more than one account of the same protocol at the same time out of the box. You keep looking around in a way to solve this mistery and have your GMail and the “costumer server” Jabber accounts online at the same time. What to do?

Easy: go to the “Plugins” directory inside the Miranda installation directory and look for the “jabber.dll” file (or maybe you are looking for the “msn.dll” for MSN accounts, but the process is the same). Now copy it to another name (say… “jabber2.dll”). Close Miranda and open it again. Now you should have a “jabber2″ option under “Network”.

Simple and stupid. But works.
