Apr 5, 2015 10:26 AM in response to BDAquaby HFTaylor12,I have no need for an AOL account. I don't want to get one just to use iChat when I have other emails. Is there any other way using the accounts I already have?

Apr 5, 2015 10:45 AM in response to HFTaylor12by BDAqua,Here there are only 3 choices in iChat in 10.4.11... .mac, which will not accept a .icloud entry, AIM, which works, & Jabber which I'm not sure how to setup.
I have no need for an AOL account either, other than to make iChat connections in older OSX versions.
