Mail is fine, but I think discussing how to chat belongs in private email, or chat itself. I started pidgin, I see I have 6 accounts; all of them were free to register. They are ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo and IRC (2 differrent servers) I also see I can create a new account with the XMPP protocol. I don't know how to fill out the rest of the info: Username (make one up?)

The domain is what's after, like: gmail.com brian
