Plugins

Tip : To install a plugin, download the .zip file, and unzip it in the .../Miranda IM/Plugins folder. Then restart Miranda and it's installed. To remove it, search for its .dll in the Plugins folder, and delete it.

Install only the plugin you really need, because some can conflict with each other

If a backup already exists, it will move it to '<profile name>bak1' first, and so on up to '<profile name>bak5'.
