Yahoo Messenger client for Ubuntu 12.04

[terrykiwi83]

As the title suggests am looking for a Yahoo Messenger client that is native to Linux (Not on wine). I have been looking at GYachI but it hasn't been updated in a while

Any suggestions?

My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 x64

You can take a look at pidgin ,it works for a wide range of protocols, including MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, IRC, IRQ and Gadu-Gadu.

you need to look at Gyache Imporved, which is a continuation of the gyache project

You don't need to look very far. Empathy comes preinstalled on Ubuntu, and can handle the Yahoo Messenger protocol.

Otherwise you could look at Pidgin, or one of the web-based messengers such as Meebo (which is multi-protocol, just like Pidgin and Empathy).

use gyache. pidgin, empathy and such can do the Yahoo IM chat, but not much else.
