IMCourier is a free service that lets users of AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ check their IMs from anywhere in the world. This means that when you put up an away message and leave your home or office, you can keep tabs on what’s been sent to you through a simple web interface, free of charge.

Once you have the software, click the "Sign up" link inside the program to go to the site and register for your free IMCourier.com login account.

IMCourier's client software runs silently on your computer. When you leave your computer, the software intercepts any IMs you recieve and sends them through the Internet to your account at IMCourier.com. You can access this account from anywhere to see your IMs, including such locations as a friend's computer, a work PC, or even a public terminal or Internet cafe!
