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

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.

Now you can authorize or block the person. If you authorize, you can chat with him and vice versa, if you block him, he can't talk with you.

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 offline. They will receive your message as soon as they go online.

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!
