Menu
>
IM
> and the service you want to log into.

Login
.
Depending on your IM service, you may not need to enter your user
name and password manually every time you log in.

in menu when you select the IM application.

Begin an IM session
You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person’s user
name and you use the same IM service. As the conversation progresses,
the most recent message appears at the bottom of the menu, causing the
previous messages to move up one level (some IM services may do this in
the opposite direction).
If you want to chat with a person, you must first add that person to
IM contacts
. See "Contacts," p. 4.
