Answer 1

Pidgin (formerly GAIM) is one of the best available, as it supports just about every IM account today. There are others you may want to try like Digsby (integrates with Facebook and Myspace) or Trillian. There are other options if you do not want to install software, as there are browser based IM clients such as Meebo that may work for you. This is good if you use a buddys computer, you will have complete access to your accoutns.
