Availability Status

Status information can indicate that your contacts are on the phone, in a meeting, or have stepped away from their desk. Jabber also displays your status based on your Outlook calendar. If you are in a meeting, Jabber will display yellow, and will note that you are in a meeting. 

Even if contacts are offline, you can send an instant message that they receive the next time they sign in. 

The table below explains the meaning of the various status icons.
