Emesene 1.0.1
|
Emesene is a MSN Messenger clone, which primary goal is to support all features of the Windows Live Messenger Network (WLM). However, it does have a few extra features - besides trying to be user-friendlier using a cleaner interface, it is also cross platform. This means that is will run on Windows as well as Linux, and other platforms are also supported.
Another important feature of Emesene is that it also comes in a portable version. In this version the entire application is contained in a single executable file, which allows you to run it directly off a USB memory stick. So there is no need to use disk space or bother installing it on the machine you wish to use it.
It has all the important options of MSN Messenger in a simple to use, clear interface. You can organize your contacts, set an autoreply for when you're away from the computer, select an avatar and select music to accompany a personal message. You can transfer files, insert smilies and personal audio and select themes.
Emesene has tabbed chat and custom emoticons. It is multilingual and customizable. You can select a color scheme, use multiple windows, and enjoy other similar Microsoft features in Emesene. It will even remember you between sessions. You can send formatted messages and do nearly everything you can do in MSN Messenger.
Currently Emesene does not support audio or video chat, but the community around it is working on these features. So you better keep an eye on the projects blog.
