Miranda IM is a smaller, faster, easier instant messenger with support for multiple protocols including AIM, Jabber, ICQ, IRC, MSN, Yahoo, and more.  Miranda IM is designed to be resource efficient and easy to use while still providing many features including support for most popular IM protocols, even iChat or IRC. Miranda IM Portable is the popular Miranda IM packaged as a portable app, so you can take your instant messaging client on the go maybe a USB memory.  Miranda IM uses very little memory and is extremely fast. Definitively I’m in love with Miranda. Miranda IM is released under the GNU GPL license.

There is a Packed version with a few interesting characteristics :
