What Happen to AOL IM and MSN?
From the 5.x Release Notes:
- Note: Update about Instant Messaging feature - In order to ensure the scalability of our server software and provide a quality experience to our customers, we have removed IM interoperability with AOL and MSN that was present in previous 5.0.0 beta releases. This functionality may be restored in a future release.

Please review the following bug and note the DNS SRV entries I posted within it.

Also the bug/RFE about Conference rooms in Multi-Server Configurations

Embedded IM Requests To Join Chat Session In Html/Email
Formats are (I think, still investigating this):
- Jabber/XMPP
- YahooIM
- ymsgr: or yim: (not sure if both work or not)
- AOL IM
- aim:
- MSN
- msnim: or msn: (not sure if both work or not)
You'll need to configure your OS to handle the protocol when called to, so that it launches the correct application.
