“MSN Messenger for Mac 10.3.9 or under”
by Cyril Roger
The older version of Messenger, 4.0.1, still remains a top download on Softonic, even though it's been superseded by the newer Microsoft Messenger 6.0.3. This version will be useful for those of you that still have any Mac OS under 10.3.9. Fitted with all the basic functions you'd expect of Messenger, the application lets you organize your contacts in different groups, set your status and use emoticons. New conversations open up in a new window, which you can move around anywhere on the screen.
While it's fairly easy to check your Hotmail account thanks to the mail button at the top of the interface, we found that sending files and images to other users can be a bit slow. MSN Messenger can fairly be used as basic IM client, we still recommend updating to the latest version, for those of you that can. Not only is it more secure, but it will also offer more features and a sleeker interface.
A good and basic IM client for anyone with a Mac OS under 10.3.9.

From the publisher of MSN Messenger
MSN® Messenger version 4.0.1 for Mac makes it easy to take advantage of the full power of instant messaging. By using MSN Messenger, you can see when your friends, family, and coworkers are online and then communicate with them instantly. MSN Messenger can also notify you when new messages arrive in your MSN Hotmail® Inbox, if you have a Hotmail account, and provide the latest news and headlines from MSN. And perhaps best of all, it's free!
