- Occupied (Urgent Msgs) - If you don't want to be distracted for any reason, use this status.
Users will still be able to send you urgent messages, or leave a message on your Contact List
(the message icon will not blink).
- DND (Do Not Disturb) - If you are sent an event, you will be notified by a non-blinking
icon in your desktop tray and on your contact list. The sender will receive a message
that you do not wish to be disturbed.
- Privacy (Invisible) - Choose this status to indicate to other users that you are
offline, when in fact you are online. You will be informed of the online/offline status of your
contacts however, you will seem offline to them. If you decide to send an event to an online user
while you are in the Invisible mode, the recipient will see you on his online list with a Privacy
icon next to your name. This user will therefore be aware of your online/invisible status.
You will also be able to receive events from those users whether you appear to them online
or offline (which will be announced by an alert sound and a flashing icon on your Contact
List and in your desktop tray). You can override this status for selected users on your
Contact List by placing them in your Visible List.
- Offline/Disconnect - Disconnect from the ICQ servers.
