Shoutbox

For almost all its features, including POP3 e-mail account checking, messenger locking etc. I feel I have to use it especially not to see the formatted contact names with codes in them and to receive emotion sounds properly. Also I sometimes apply skins & I use some scripts. However three features that I rarely use are window transparency, contacts on desktop and quick texts&icons, and two reasons for not using the last two features: I can type fast enough and I don't use many emoticons.
