I'm not sure what the cause is, but I never had this issue until I installed Mountain Lion. I had the iMessage Beta prior to installing Mountain Lion and I did not uninstall it after. However, I get disconnected constantly and its been going on and off. I have a lot of difficulty connecting to AIM, but GTalk is disconnecting frequently. I am not sure where to start.

1This happens to me too. I can usually get around it by going to Preferences > Accounts, and disabling/re-enabling the disconnected accounts.– jtbandesJan 4, 2013 at 6:47

Yeah, I've tried that, and that USED to work. I'm out of luck still.– Allen TongJan 4, 2013 at 7:25

It's very annoying with people owning both iOS and GTalk... if you want to talk to them on multiple channels, you're out of luck.– KheldarOct 4, 2013 at 9:30

I have been having this pesky problem as well. Mine was solved by reseting the password with the provider.
I found a post that stated that someone solved this by logging into AIM.com website and reseting their password. I tried this and found that since my AIM account was set up through another provider (Apple) that I needed to go to Apple and change my password. I did this and it resolved my issue. (I needed to change the Apple password anyway for good security in that I had not changed it in YEARS).
My aim account somehow disappeared from ichat. I had to added it as "other message account" not AOL. Then under preferences->general, I selected "all in one list". Changing the aim password online also helped. Thanks everyone.
