 Send a message to someone

From the Contact List window, double-click the name of the contact that you want to have a conversation with.

A new window will open. Type a message into the box at the bottom of the window and press Enter to send it.

Send a message to a meta-contact

From the Contact List window, right-click on the meta-contact.

Select the contact you want to have the conversation, and from the menu select Chat.

To recognize if a contact is a meta-contact, move your mouse on a contact in the Contact List window, and stop over it for a second: a small pop-up message will appear showing the number of the contacts that form the meta-contact.
