Can I use Microsoft® Skypeᵀᴹ chats in Thunderbirdᵀᴹ?

oneofthecheaters

I want to manage, send and receive Skypeᵀᴹ messages and calls in Thunderbird. Is it possible? And is possible to chat privately with a Thunderbirdᵀᴹ address, similar to peer-to-peer private chats?

In that case, no. It is just a client. It relies on 3rd party servers and networks.

Thanks! But it's possible to chat on a Thunderbirdᵀᴹ address?

Er, what do you mean by a "Thunderbird address"?

A chat service like Google Hangouts or Skype

Perhaps you mean Telephone numbers of people in your address books?

But it may not work on more current releases.

I only want to know if Thunderbird offers an internal chat without using Hangouts or other services.
