Daniel, you forgot two crucial steps...
1a. login to your account
3a. compile the application

Oops, sorry!
And maybe instead of 'compile' it should 'build' since we want to link as well! :)

I have no idea what "outlook messenger" is but here is how you start a dialog-style application in Qt Creator:

File menu, New File or Project...
Select Qt C++ Project, Qt GUI Application
Provide a name for your project and somewhere to save it
Select a Qt version you wish to use
Select QDialog as the base type


There are a couple of instant messenger application on qt-apps.org

it's always the same with your threads.

you have to give us information. you have to tell us what you have tried so far. you have to post specific problems you are struggeling with.

If you have no idea how to use Qt, a chat application might not be the perfect start...
