I have to second that. If you'd rather have a console type client,
centericq is really good. As of version 4.5.0, it "works" fine with the
changes over at AOL. IOW, you don't get the random-dropped-messages-
without-notification-thing going on.
If there isn't a .deb for 4.5.x, you should be able to build it from
source. That's what I did.

It's seems to be actively developed, and the author is a friendly guy.
