For anyone using Adium, Got this from Xapster
http://adium.im/beta/, who said he had the same issue.. I logged into ICQ last week and found 58 messages stuck there, that Adium didnt pick up. apparently the 1.4 b17 works.. just updated this morning and got messages from last night, from people that I was talking to this morning.. so far, it looks promising. But I will still load up the ghetto ICQ version created in 2002 to verify on a regular basis.
