Output Messenger Client

Output Messenger provides a means for coworkers, remote employees, and people from offices spread around various locations, to stay in touch. As its name so adequately points out, Output Messenger is an IM client – or messenger type application if you prefer. It can be used to chat one on one, to group chat, to transfer files, to place voice and video calls, and even to share the desktop.

It also has a few extra features to offer:
Reminders – set up reminders, set it up so the PC will be automatically shut down, logged off, or restarted, set it so an application will run at a certain time, set it so a certain website will be accessed automatically at a certain time.
Notes – take notes, manage your notes.
Mail – send email messages to others.

Output Messenger provides support for Windows 2003, XP, and so on. Thanks to a straightforward setup wizard, you won’t have any problems installing Output Messenger on a PC that runs Microsoft’s Windows operating system. When you’re done with the installation and you launch Output Messenger for the first time, you will be asked to connect to a server; after successfully establishing a connection, you will be asked to sign in with your username and password.

Getting back to the client, Output Messenger has a simple interface: a list of contacts front and center, a search box at the top so you can easily find a contact, a box to enter a custom status message also at the top, and a dropdown to select a predefined status message at the bottom.
