ICQ Internet chat client.

Overview

Icy Juice is a Cocoa-based ICQ Internet chat client that support multiple accounts. Icy Juice is still a long way from being feature-complete, and the current release is more of a preview and an invitation for users to express their needs and expectations from an ICQ client and for developers to take part in this open-source project in one way or another. The source code is also available.

Its better then the real ICQ for OSX, it has the features I want and it's very stable. The only request I have is make the return button the send *button*. :)

From the ReadMe included in the download: "You can write to Mitz Pettel at icyjuice.feedback@mitzpettel.com if you have questions or comments regarding Icy Juice."

Version 1.0.2

IMPORTANT: Due to changes in ICQ's servers during August 2004, some Icy Juice users no longer see the actual status of contacts on their list, instead seeing that all of them are offline. It is currently unknown whether this issue is temporary or permanent and whether Icy Juice will be updated to resolve it.

MacOS 10.3.3/ IcyJuice 1.0d5 1. Crashes when I disconnect my dial-up connection. Would be nice if stayed offline until a connection reappears, a-la iChat. 2. File Send does not work with ICQ 2003a/b. Gives either 'Transfer Canceled' or 'Transfer Timed Out' errors. 3. Slow messaging compared to ICQ 3.2. Seems like talking to moon. 4. No type-ahead indicator. 5. No search by interests or details (in the About field, where people usually express themselves). 6. I wish there was a Photo selector or preference so I could see my potential dates, also search by Location :) 7. Why no File Transfer button on the messaging window toolbar? 8. Why re-select account each session at the File - New - Recent menu? Why File menu? Don't know why other people are mad about this client. I pray that Mirabilis or Apple step up to plate and fill in the juicy details of search...and kill the damn fleas in ICQ 3.4 - namely incorrect encoding of offline messages and lack of features compared to PC version. Random chat partners!!!

You can select a contact list to open automatically every time you launch Icy Juice via Preferences. (so no need to select it each time)

Why not be productive and submit your bug report to the developer?

OSX users need a secure IM client! As a IM user in a corporate environment, I have great fear of having all my messages sent in clear through the corporate Proxy. When will we get a Trillian secure chat compatible client? I know we can use GAIM with X11 but it really isn't satisfactory. We just want an easy to configure client. For the rest of the app, everything is great. Keep up the good work!!!

Sorry about the damaged .dmg file posted previously. It has been corrected now. Thanks to everyone who reported the problem.

I can´t find an English version... Is there one developed?

Version 1.0d5

Wow.. This is great!! It has everything I ever need from ICQ and it's much much cleaner and nicer than the real ICQ application. With file transfer, this is just perfect! Thanks!!

Version 1.0d2

I have to agree with PaWn 100%. Been using this app for quite a while, have also been using ICQ for a long time. Now mostly Icy Juice, not so cluttered up and for my part has all the features needed. In fact I use this all the time now. Great app just don't make it too fancy.
