It's simple to leave a message:

Click the Services button.
Select Answering Service.
On the window that appears, you can leave a message in two places:
- On your ICQ
- In your Unified Messaging Center

ICQ Outgoing Message (ICQ Status Message)

Services - Answering Service

On your ICQ, you can specify an outgoing message for each of the status modes.

Select the status mode in the Status pulldown menu.

The text in the Message box will display the default outgoing message for the status you chose.
Choose a message from the Message Name pulldown menu.

You can edit the message in the Message text box, and change the title of the message by clicking the Rename Message Name button.

The Rename message name dialog appears.
Rename your message title and change the default outgoing message in the Message box.

How the message appears to your friends:
When someone sends you a message while you're in one of the statuses, they will receive the outgoing message you left in the Services - Answering Service window.
You can enter up to 7 different outgoing messages for each of the following Availability Modes:
