By using Messenger for Mac, you can see when your friends, family, coworkers,
and associates at other companies are online and then communicate with them
instantly. Messenger for Mac offers two types of communication services — a
personal account and a corporate account.
A personal account works with the Windows Live Messenger service. Contacts that
you add to your personal account include friends and family members. Instant
message conversations with users are not limited to users who have Messenger for
Mac installed on their computers. You can also have instant message
conversations with users who have other instant messaging services, such as
Yahoo! Messenger.
A corporate account uses the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server
service. Contacts that you add to your corporate account include coworkers who
are in the same company as you and associates at other companies. Instant
message conversations with other corporate account users are not limited to
corporate users who have Messenger for Mac installed on their computers. With
the federation features enabled on Live Communications Server, users can also
have instant message conversations with users who have other instant messaging
services, such as AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo! Messenger, and iChat users
who are signed in with AOL accounts.
Additionally, Messenger for Mac 6.0.2 includes logging. Log files can help
troubleshoot various problems in Messenger such as connection problems, status
failures, and other issues. Enabling logs saves a file containing personal
information to ~/Documents. Anyone with access to this directory can open this
file. By default, Messenger logging is turned off. For more information about
how to enable logging for troubleshooting problems, contact support.
