Jabber is the original instant messaging service based on XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging (AKA chat), and one of the biggest nodes on the open Jabber network.

Evergreen has installed a Jabber IM service locally on our internal network to facilitate a functional IM service for administrative and academic uses. Using Evergreen's Jabber services requires using/installing a local client application on your computer, and configuring it to connect to the Evergreen Jabber service using your Evergreen credentials. Listed below are some help articles specific to connecting to Evergreen's Jabber services from various desktop clients, including details on how you can use the Jabber services for your academic program.
