Notes 5.2.3 Instant Messaging with Gaim
By means of the Junk Toolbar, you train the Junk Mail feature by telling it when a message is or
isn’t junk mail. After you have identified which messages are junk mail, you can automatically
move incoming junk mail to the Junk folder.
Gaim is an Instant Messaging client program that runs in Linux.
To start Gaim from a Red Hat desktop menu, select Internet Instant Messenger.
Example: Figure 5.11 shows an example of the Gaim window:
