ParticipantYes, check out Martin’s link above… that program will allow you to open Yahoo Messenger multiple times and sign in with more than one ID. You will have a separate messenger open for each ID you sign in.

KeymasterYou don’t need to run multiple instances of Yahoo! Messenger. Y! Messenger has a built-in capability to create multiple aliases that you can use simultaneously with people.
Here’s how the concept works:
Quote:quote:You can only use one Yahoo! ID at a time on your Yahoo! Messenger, but you can create different aliases (also called identities) for yourself as a part of your main Yahoo! ID. Each alias/identity has its own profile. A profile includes additional information about yourself that you would like other people to see.For example, you might have a Yahoo! ID of “janedoe.” As a part of this main ID, you might also create the alias “blueslover” and another one called “janiac.” You could use “blueslover” to talk with your friends, and “janiac” to talk with your co-workers. You can also set Messenger so “blueslover” appears online and “janiac” appears offline, or vice versa, or so that both appear online at the same time.
