Have you tried browser based yahoo webmessenger??

Yes. Tried both formats of web-based yahoo messenger :

- Stand alone web messenger
- Chatting while checking mails [similar to GMail]

I like multitasking, so I like that second variant,
which enabled me to chat while checking mails as well, all in a single tab/window.

yeah man its an overall great package.

Yep i have tried it when my yahoomessener dosen't work
