I'm not sure where you got that idea. ICQ was supporting offline message delivery back in 1997, Jabber has supported it since it was created. MSN is the only messenger I'm aware of that didn't support offline delivery from the start, and it has done for several years. You can send a message to an offline person and they will receive it when they log back on.
