I would always assume that anything being sent over any public format is being recorded in some way. If you want to be secure then use encrypted email or maybe one of the programs that say they can encrypt a chat session. I've not used one of these as I don't run chat sessions but looking over the specs it certainly looks like it can do what it says.

you need to have the save my chats option enable. \n\n1. click on the tools menu bar\n2. click on options\n3. click on messages on the left pane\n4. see if the check that says "Automaitaically save my conversations" or something like that, is enabled.\n5. it it is enabled you only need to find the folder that is specified in the "save my conversations on this folder"

I am using msn ver 7.5, and you can find it similar in other version:\n\n1. Tools > options\n2. Select Message\n3. Uncheck "Automatically keep a history of my conversations"\n4. By default, all previous conversation would be saved in C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;[user name]&#92;My Documents&#92;My Received Files&#92;[some random name]&#92;History. You might wanna check and delete them, if you wish.\n\nHope it helps...

it depends, if you have activated your message archiving and if you already had a previous conversation with any of those contacts of yours then yahoo messenger will save those offline messages, the reason for that is yahoo creates a folder for each of your contacts that you had a conversation with, and once it is able to find a folder with that contact's id then it'll save those offline messages.

Not if you have not enabled message archiving in your messenger contacts tab. Even if you do this then it is system dependent wherein it saves it to your local system. So if you are using different computers while logging then different messages would be stored on different computers. But if you are using the same computer then you can retrieve the messages anytime. The only thing that you need to do is to click on the message archive option and deselect the option "Automatically delete files older than 10 days" (which is by default)and which is in the preferences option under the messages tab,otherwise your messages will get deleted after 10 days.

Make sure you don't have Yahoo! Messenger running twice.  If you don't, then reinstall Messenger.  If it still bugs the crap out of you, download a third-party chat client.  \n\nwww.cheetachat.com\nwww.fxscripts.mychat.com

The only way I have gotten this to work, is you need to be able to sign into that old account.  Once you sign into that account in IM and send a message to his old account just to get the settings going.  Then you would need to copy all the dat files and paste them in the correct folder.  \n\nThis is located under PROGRAM FILES, YAHOO, MESSENGER, PROFILES ... then you will see all of your screennames so pick the correct one, ARCHIVE, then you will see the folders for different people you have IM'd ... you need to be able to paste the dat files into the correct folder (your mans old account) ... then the only way to view them is to go into yahoo messenger again, then view your archive, all the messages will be viewable in there and then from yahoo IM you can SAVE them as regular files to have FOREVER :)

Are u using sum other client or sum multy messenger software to chat, which in fact is not provided by yahoo? if yes.. u should get rid of it n start using yahoo messenger.\n\nAre you on broadband connection n have static ip?

Only if you have initially specified in your Messenger's 'Preferences', that 'All IMs should be saved', will they be kept stored in your PC - and can be retrieved and seen, by opening your Messenger's 'Archives'.
