It is very important to encrypt all communication to ensure privacy and authentification. But with using GAIM, you can use AOL, ICQ, MSN and many other IM.
Gaim-encrypt module, does not encrypt the initial Username and password for a user to log into thoses system.
So anybody who listen to the communication will still be able to take the name and act as the "client". What can we do about that ?
