So there's a real problem with IM accounts. Too bad, being connected everywhere was the reason for buying an N900 in the first place
Maybe try disabling the IM accounts one by one to find out which of them are so power hungry - I'm using only Pecan MSN and when idling it barely consumes more battery with IM enabled than when offline.
