The Companion is a small window that appears automatically in the corner of your computer screen when you're connected to the our service using the 8.0 version or above.

Use the Companion to quickly get to your favourite features, including your Buddy List, Favourite Places, Address Book, and more!

Plus, you can easily stay on top of your email and Instant Messages, even when you are working in other programs on your computer:
-- Watch the mailbox flag and message counter to know whenever new messages arrive.
-- Watch for the conversation bubble and the message counter to keep track of new IMs.
