Hello. I am new and will be downloading adium x when I get my first mac computer in a week. I definitely want a multi service prigram like adium. My question is: I have a hotmail account which is the one I use for msn messenger in my pc and all my contacts are from hotmail also.

However I was wondering if I can just sign in with that hotmail address into adium x and apart from my current hotmail contacts, cpould I also add people say from aol and yahoo and just be signbed in with one hotmail account. To mkake it clear what I mean is, if I want to add yahoo people do I need a yahoo account, for aol people an aol account, etc?????? Or can I have different companies working with just one hotmail sign in address????

Nope, you'll need an account on each service you wish to use. See http://trac.adiumx.com/wiki/CreatingAnAccount for more information.
