    Sadly, there is a lot of spam (spam are messages you don't want, usually advertisement or viruses) on the ICQ network. To avoid spam, you should authorize only people you know. There is nothing you can really do about this problem. Just ignore them!

    To add a contact press "Add" in the toolbar and choose your account(in this case it is you UIN) (or you can use the menu File->Add Contact->your account). There you can enter the UID of the person you want to add.

    If you do not know the UIN, but perhabs the nickname or the e-mail adress of a person, it is also possible to search your contact. Click on the Search button.

    It is also possible to search UINs

    Being added

    authorization request

    To get more information about the person click on "Info...". A window will open which contains all the information available about the person.

    Chatting

    To chat, click on one of you contacts. A chat window will appear. There you can type your text and send it.

    Chat with you contacts

    It is also possible to send messages to persons that are not online. They will receive your message as soon as they go online.
