Hello ​Chatcat49,- Instant messaging, often shortened to IM or IM'ing, is the exchange of near real-time messages through a stand-alone application or embedded software. Unlike chat rooms with many users engaging in multiple and overlapping conversations, IM sessions usually take place between two users in a private, back-and-forth style of communication.
- Aug 27, 2008 iMessage works because its so seamless with SMS, and the fact that a huge chunk of the market has it forced down their throats. Unlike iMessage, where there are no alternative apps, so every iMessage user is guaranteed to see both iMessages, and SMSs in the same place. Facebook messenger wouldn't work like that since its not required.

I understand you wish to delete the Jabber account in your Messages app on your MacBook Air.
Since this is the default account, you would need to add another third-party messaging service and be signed into it before you could disable the Jabber account. Rather than delete the account, the easiest thing to do would be to remove the checkmark from 'Enable this account.'

What Is Jabber Imessage
iMessage is the Apple messaging service you get automatically with your Apple ID.
If it's not already set up, you're asked to sign in when you first open the Messages app. Sign in with same Apple ID that you use with Messages on your iPhone and other devices. It's usually the same Apple ID that you use for iCloud, the iTunes Store, the App Store, and the account you created when you first set up your Mac.
To add a third-party messaging service, choose Add Account from the Message menu. Then choose an account provider and follow the onscreen instructions from that provider.
To disable a messaging service or change its settings, choose Preferences from the Messages menu, then click Accounts.
