Try Gaim.
RH already includes this in its distributions. If you need new version, you can go Gaim website.
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

it is called encounter or thunderbird , it is usually found in the "quick launch icons"

otherwise you can use kopete or amsn
look at their websites or sourceforge for newer versions.

 

[Ragnarok83]

you can use amsn 0.95 or 0.96, or gaim that works with msn, icq, gadu-gadu and other services, but if you want msn messenger for windows, use wine, configure it and then install windows msn :idea:

Gaim may be a good option because it supports chat protocols like MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk & AIM.

Mail clients are available from Mozilla suite.

try gaim,

gaim.sourceforge.net

Added after 1 minutes:

why dont you log in to msn2go or ebuddy or e-messenger.net etc

why dont you log in to msn2go or ebuddy or e-messenger.net etc

Simply, because i don't knw anything about them, and even now, i still don't know where to get them!!!!

if there's any type of MSN messenger, whatever bad was it or not, tell me to use it, that's all i need..

they are web-based messengers , i.e. u don't install a program but u log to their web-site and that's it
try e-messenger or msn2go

 

[Ragnarok83]

if you want a msn messenger exactly like in windows, with cam, photo sharing etc, download amsn from:
http://amsn.sourceforge.net/

but if you want just a msn program or server, i recommend like the others, gaim, because there you can login with msn, icq, gadu-gadu, etc services. you can get gaim from:

Re: Yahoo Messenger for Linux Red Hat is required please

I am using Red Hat Enterprise and trying to use Gaim to log into Yahoo Msgr. It doesn't seem to work. I tried installing the latest version of Gaim from sourceforge.net/ but that didn't resolve the problem. Any help, suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

My recommendation would be to use gaim. If you don't find packages for your distro on their download page, then you can just download the autopackage (**broken link removed**)

Finally, a big plus for gaim is that it allows you to encrypt your conversations. So the person that you're chatting to just has to install gaim at their side and if you both enable encryption, then you can chat without the IT staff at your company seeing what you're saying (unless of course they have a keyboard logger at your company)

Thank you DigitalMan ..

But things go much easier in my company

Anyway, I got gaim already a week ago, and it's working very well with me, but i didn't know about encription before
