Hide windows while away

There is already an option to hide new windows from popping up when a full screen application is running, so it shouldn't be very hard to add the option to hide new windows from opening when you are away.

Pidgin has this feature implemented nicely where the tray icon just changes to a picture of a conversation box, then when you click on the tray icon all of your messages show up.

View Full e-mail Inbox in list view

Provide an option for the user to control whether all items in inbox are shown or just new mail. Will offer the ability for users to manage email without having to log into through browser window or email client. Should still only light up icon in systray or buddy list if new mail arrives.

Add ability to send SMS via Gtalk

Gtalk inside Gmail allows you send and receive SMS messages from any US phone number. It would be good if Digsby would implement the same functionality.

Bebo Integration

Bebo is currently the #1 social networking site in the UK and is a great mix of the two rated underneath it, Myspace and Facebook.

Unfortunately Digsby has yet to take over the UK market and until then chances are that this sort of integration will not become high priority. Still I thought I might as well put it out there and see what people thought about it.

Show number of tweets since last check

Digbsy should show the number of unread tweets on the twitter tray icon. By unread I mean the number of timeline updates since we last checked it.

Many times you leave Digbsy open and when you come back you may not remember to check twitter because there is no visual indication that something happened.

Conversation window usability improvements

Don't most people like seeing who your talking to when your talking ?

It would be nice to have a toggle between expanded and full mode in the Conversation windows tabs

eg, click details and instead of blocking the entire convo, it would only appear as a top panel, displaying friends name, sub message etc.

Add MeeMix.com as social network and internet radio integration for listening to.

It would be a great addition to add MeeMix.com to the social networks that are already included and as an addition to the listening to function. It is internet radio and it gives you the option to add the radio to your personal websites so the code must be in there that will allow you to access it for listening to.

Fix file transfers in AIM

Whenever you try to receive a file from the official AIM program, it never works. The only time I can get a file transfer to go through is when transferring from a non-official AIM program. It would be great if this could made so that you can receive files from the official AIM program.

When song stops, put name back to personal message instead of now playing

Well when im listening to a song and then i stop, it still has the Now Listening to or whatever on there, and its annoying. It would be great if when a song goes on it changes to the song, when the song ends it goes back to your personal message. i think having a separate personal message from the song part is not needed.

Allow opting-out autoupdating to latest build on startup

Several builds of Digsby tend to be buggy. Many times to a point which renders the app useless until re-insatlled completely.
Sometimes it's not worth the wait with a rather slow bandwidth (like on my EeePC).

Add free international sms as in ICQ

I don't know how about you, but i like the fact that you can send free international sms as in ICQ. and not only to USA, i think, as it available to MSN users.

Show Unread Gmail Count from Labels (not just Inbox)

The ability (checkbox?) to show an unread mail count from not only the inbox but also the labels, possibly even the spam? This feature is found in "Gmail Manager" and other similar addons in Firefox.
Even if it could just show a total from ALL labels as opposed to downloading individual every time from the Gmail server. I'm sure this would suit most people.

Character count

Please give the option to show a character count as I type messages or status updates. This will help people using services like Ping.fm's IM agents. It might also just be fun to look at. Just sayin'.

MSN Plus colors support!

It would be nice to have Msn plus! colors support.

A lot users have msn plus colors codes into the nickname, and if we dont have plus support the nicknames goes unreadable.

Like ·$1M·$2A·$3R·$4I·$5E ·$1-·$2P·$3a·$4r·$5t·$6y ·$7T·$8o·$9n·$1i·$2g·$3h·$4t

Means, "MARIE Party Tonight"

Or [c=20]I[/c][c=30]S[/c][c=19]UU[/c][c=12]C[/c][c=8]K[/c][c=14]S[/c]

Per Account Avatar/Display Picture/Buddy Icon

Currently, Digsby will use a single avatar/display picture/buddy icon choice for all your accounts. Most other multi-IM clients, in contrast, have the ability to set an avatar on a per-account basis and Pidgin can even combine global avatars with per-account overrides. This is a rather basic functionality that Digsby should also incorporate.

Add GroupWise Messenger Support

I would like to see if Digsby can support Novell GroupWise Messenger. Pidgin currently supports it and it's the only thing that is stopping me from using digsby fully.

thx!

Contact Manager (Address Book)

A contact manager where you can:
-Edit contact information
-Link contacts
-Add extra detail not supported by the online services (eg. Phone#, Address, work, etc.) ** like seen in MSN Live Messenger
-Compare online profile with local profile for contacts

After some basic interface for that sort of thing is done, then maybe you could look into doing more advance things like:

deviantART

DeviantART is the home for where art meets aplication. Adding DeviantART will not only let the user check there inbox, post areas, when one of your submissions has been favourited etc, but it will be great advertiseing space as this would give a huge kick start, and possibly millions of more people using the program.

Pounce messages

Imagine this. A buddy of yours is almost never online and the message you want to get to them doesn't warrant a phone call or a text message...so you think that you'll just IM them instead. Yet they aren't online. Ever. A pounce message will send them a message as soon as they sign on next. Very helpful.

for those of us that use windows media player and the playlists that come with it. I'm not and will never be an iTunes user and i have had winamp and it is nice for the sole reason of flac support but I have not found a way to get the music list to work as well as the one in WMP.
