www.trillian.cc, in fact. All trillian users I know are quite happy,
but I have no idea whether it encrypts or anything. It seems it also
does IRC.

My 2 eurocents: IRC is the ultimate in IM, since irc clients and
servers are freely and widely available, fully open source, so you can
run it completely within the perimeters of your network and under your
full control.
