Accessing AKO Instant Messenger

Accessing AKO/DKO IM is easy and there are four ways to do it.

  • The easiest way is just log in to your AKO account.  A facebook-style IM window will appear in the lower right hand side of the screen.
  • You can also get a similar style of IM list by logging in to webmail; a bar along the lower right will give you access to AKO/DKO IM.
  • You can launch an external window by clicking on ‘IM’ in the upper right of the AKO page you’re on.
  • You can use the external Jabber client which comes installed by default on many Army systems.
    • Note to access the external client you must input your username and password.

If you have any questions regarding AKO/DKO IM or need to install the external client please visit our AKO/DKO IM page at https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/179
