Empathy como alternativa Linux ao Yahoo! Messenger
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Empathy can replace Yahoo! Messenger for users who need a Linux‑native IM client that supports multiple protocols, file transfer, and basic voice/video chat. It will work well for people who already use GNOME or want a single application to handle several accounts. However, it lacks the legacy Yahoo! protocol support and the specific features that Yahoo! Messenger users might have relied on, such as the proprietary Yahoo! chat rooms or the older file transfer quirks.

O que muda

- Empathy offers voice and video calls via SIP/VoIP, whereas Yahoo! Messenger had only voice calls
- Yahoo! Messenger had a proprietary file transfer protocol that Empathy does not replicate
- Empathy is discontinued, so no new updates or security patches
- Yahoo! Messenger was cross‑platform; Empathy is GNOME‑centric
Abrindo seus arquivos do Yahoo! Messenger
Yahoo! Messenger used a proprietary .ymsg file format for chat logs and attachments, which Empathy does not natively read. Users would need to export Yahoo! logs to a common format (e.g., HTML or plain text) using the Yahoo! Messenger client on Windows before importing or viewing them in Empathy. No direct import feature exists.

Perguntas frequentes
Can I add my Yahoo! account to Empathy?
No. Empathy no longer supports the legacy Yahoo! protocol, so you cannot add a Yahoo! account directly.
Will Empathy let me make voice or video calls?
Yes, Empathy can make voice and video calls via SIP/VoIP protocols, but you need a compatible service or server.
Is Empathy still maintained?
Empathy is discontinued; it receives no new updates or security patches, so it may not be suitable for long‑term use.
