Today's new Thunderbird.
There is a Chat feature, but the following is coming up, which I have no idea how to go about it, any help greatly appreciated:

Use /msg NickServ HELP for a NickServ command listing.

Secondly, I have been able to reduce the Font size down to a minimum of 9, but the two top toolbars and also the bottom one are huge.
Is there a way to reduce them please?

nickserv is an IRC command.

 

IRC is internet relay chat - although there are some modern day benefits, there aren't many uses for IRC these days. If you need to use IRC then you know about IRC, its clunky and cumbersome. Every time I need to use it, I have to relearn the commands and often I mess up and get banned from the server - its a decentralized chat, servers are hosted on an organizations server and the chat logs are kept by the organization. It's good for anonymity, unless the server is compromised. It's used by tin foil hat nerds, digital pirates and probably kiddie fiddlers, people who have something to hide.

Thunderbird also has XMPP. I remember using this back in the day, I think ICQ, yahoo, Windows live, google talk all use XMPP.

 

Anyone else use IRC? for what?
