How do I group two different screennames (belonging to the same person) together?
You probably don’t want to see both the AIM name and Jabber name of the same person on your buddy list. There’s a way that you can bundle the two together. Right click on a Jabber screenname and select “Expand”. The screenname should look like it’s in a little folder by the same name. Now drag and drop AIM screennames belonging to that person into the little folder. If you click on the little arrow to collapse the folder, it will now appear as if you only have the person’s Jabber name on your buddy list. However, if you right click on it and Expand it again, you can see both names. If you IM the person, it will default to sending to the Jabber name, unless the Jabber name is disconnected or away, in which case it will send to the AIM name instead. And that’s the tutorial!
