http://www.icq.com/download – enjoy! 🙂
Where does it say that it is beta?? As far as I can see it seems to be a full version (long time since we have seen that last time)
soulwalker- you are right it didn’t say it is BETA, so I have edited the subject. Thanks. 🙂
One thing I noticed on ICQ 2003b did not have the chatroom feature like we used to have in previous ICQ verisons. 🙁
Someone mentioned that add-ons are not supported in the alpha version.
I’ve just downloaded the final version of 2003b, and I can’t find the option to check for incoming emails.
Have they removed the feature, then?
Hey guys, it specifically says that some features of previous versions are not included, and they will be activated in the near future with some add-ons. Check this link http://www.icq.com/download/ , at the bottom right it says:
“Please Note: Certain features that were available in previous versions of ICQ Pro are currently unavailable with this version. Some of these features will be available to you as add-ons within the coming weeks.”
Well, I’ve downgraded to 3800, so please post here when you’re aware that something has been added.
Thanks in advance.
They also removed the gaming features, it was possible to initiate game sessions with Icq before. And also no more conferences, multiple user chats. Seems like other messengers are adding features while ICQ is removing them… I get the feeling ICQ won’t be around for much longer.
Is there anything to stop ex-Mirabilis programmers to start from scratch and rebuild their own IM system?
There were great features added every now and then when they were still in charge.

I believe ICQ will be around for many years to come. Remember, they are still working on the new versions and plan to release when they are ready.

I agree, I liked the real ICQ very much. I believe that if the young man, whom founded ICQ had started another kind of instant messaging program almost like ICQ, he might find himself in trouble with AOL for breaching agreement on what he and AOL agreed to, etc.
I think ICQ has pretty much died here in the UK.
It seems less than 20% of online users have heard of ICQ, let alone have an account with them.
Most people here use MSN, and with schoolkids all wanting to chat online to their pals, the “increase” is increasing!!
I’ve heard Americans mainly use AIM, and Far Eastern people use ICQ for the multilingual support.
I just tested the EmailExpress feature at my two ICQ accounts, it seems like it’s not functioning. I wonder why!
