I see a lot of reviews saying that this client doesn't work with AIM or ICQ. I know this is not true because I use this program to connect to ICQ every day. For AIM support you need to find a server that has the transport installed. Also, adding different networks is very simple. You just need to add your accounts using the options menu.
