BitlBee
BitlBee allows users to talk to people on the MSN, ICQ, Jabber, Yahoo!, and AIM networks with any IRC client by emulating an IRC server. A virtual channel is created with all of the user's buddies in it, who can be talked to in the channel or in a query. Also, one can participate in group chats and chat rooms like they were normal IRC channels.

Invisible Bee
Any idea how to mark myself invisible, using AWAY or UMOD, and how to make it selective (like "/away 2 Invisible", to mark me Invisible on third account) supposing that the server support this feature.
For now I make a little patch to make me invisible for Y!, with "/away Invisible". I didn't test it too much.
Take it from:

offline contact

Re: Great idea, but still not there
Correction: Version 0.91 (which will be released really soon) and newer will support ICQ server-side buddy lists.
0.90 was supposed to support them as well, but the support wasn't ready for release yet at the time 0.90 came out so I pulled it.
