How do I set my idle time?

If you are online, but haven't typed anything for a while, your friends will see "Idle" displayed after your name on their Friend List. You can adjust the amount of time before you are shown as "Idle" by following these steps:
  1. Pull down the Messenger's Login menu from the main Messenger window, then select Preferences.
     
  2. Select Privacy (if it isn't already selected).
     
  3. Towards the bottom of the window, you'll see the Idle Status section, where you can choose a time, or check the box labeled Never show me as idle.
     
  4. Click the OK button at the bottom of the Preferences window to put your changes into effect.

If you set you status time to a low number all you have to do is wait
