    Hello all, I'd like to write an IM client like Trillian, but i have no idea how to process login information. Could anyone tell me how to send username and password of user to chat server (like YM chat server)? Thanks

      I don't know of any and usually apps that have username/password logins are a secret kept very close to the chest. Good luck in finding an answer :-D

        Sorry but i dont understand your answer clearly. I meant that I'd like to know how IM clients process login information of user like Trillian did. (e.g how to login to YM chat server and retrieve friend list of that user etc...)

          What I meant is that it might be a very closely guarded secret that they will not release for the sake of security...

              You would need to look for a developer SDK for the Yahoo! Messenger product. I'm not sure if Yahoo! has one or not, but that would be the place to start.

              Scott.
