There's a very old school original one, the non 'live' one.

Ok. I imagine it's what you're after, as it sits nicely as a little system tray icon when minimized and will check your hotmail and any other pop3 accounts you add.

yeah that's all i'm after. Cheers brett.
If you want to get messenger in the system tray instead of taskbar, you can just change it's compatability mode and set it to "vista mode" shoves it out of the way into the system tray. Sorted

Also for the new windows live messenger, you can get rid of the annoying screen hogging news panel by clicking on the icon to the right of inbox (switch to compact view).

If you run Windows Live messenger in compatability mode for Vista SP2 it'll act like it should, disapear into the taskbar.
