Thunderbird is a popular [https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software free software] e-mail program. It also contains a chat feature that's compatible with the FeministWiki chat service. | |||

In the window that opens, follow these steps: | |||
1. First page: select '''XMPP''', click Next | |||
2. Second page: enter your FeministWiki username, and enter '''feministwiki.org''' in the ''Domain'' field, then click Next | |||
3. Third page: enter your FeministWiki password, click Next | |||
4. All other pages: just keep clicking Next until it's done | |||
You should now see the text '''Offline contacts (xyz)''' in the left panel. When you click on the little arrow sign or double-click on the ''Offline contacts'' text, it should list you the FeministWiki members. You can click on a member's name to open a chat window for them. | |||
To join a groupchat, click the '''Join Chat''' button at the top, then enter the name of the groupchat into the '''Room''' field and optionally tick the checkbox ''Auto-join this Chat Room'' to join it automatically the next time you open Thunderbird's chat window. | |||
Thunderbird doesn't offer an easy way to list all available groupchats. | |||
