Use the 'report post' on your own post and ask that this thread be moved to the Developer forum.
Which ones please? I searched for 'kindle IM client' and didn't see anything really relevant for an older kindle 3/kindle keyboard. The list of kindle software I found didn't mention IM clients but otherwise seemed to have a number of other things so I assumed it was complete.

I'm aware some USED to but do any STILL do so that actually work on it? I was hoping someone with experience could point to something still working in 2016 that hasn't been shut down.

Certainly in comparison to a dedicated binary.
I'd be happy with a laggy but realtime web browser passing messages within a reliable 30 seconds without a bunch of extra clicks and hitting refresh trying to treat email as if it was an SMS client. :P Or something that beeps when a message arrives or anything. Email is great for longer form general details, but if youre trying to coordinate like two people at an airport grabbing separate things then meeting for a ride the couple minute lag and extra fiddling gets in the way.
