Instant Messaging and Chat | Thunderbird Help

Thunderbird supports instant messaging and chat using IRC, XMPP, Twitter, and Google Talk.

To use Chat, you must first create a new account (or configure an existing account) with an online instant messaging or chat provider. Thunderbird currently works with IRC, XMPP, Twitter, and Google Talk.

In this example we will show IRC, but the process is very similar for Twitter, Google Talk and XMPP.

At the top of the Thunderbird window, click on the menu, then click and then click :

For IRC, you will have to enter your IRC server name, e.g. irc.mozilla.org for Mozilla's IRC server.

For XMPP, you will also have to enter your XMPP server name.

Enter the password for the service.

A password is optional for an IRC account and is only required if you have reserved your nickname on the IRC network.

This is not usually needed, so just click NextContinue.

Next, you will be presented with a Summary screen. Click Finish to finish the wizard and start chatting.

First make sure that you are online by going to your Chat Status and connecting:

• click on the menu and then click on and then
• click on the Connect button next to the account you want to go online with

Click on the Chat Tab next to the Write Tab to start and join conversations.

Like any other type of Thunderbird account (e.g. email and RSS), Chat is integrated with search.

Here's an example of email, Twitter and Chat conversations being found by Thunderbird's global search:
