How To Transfer Message Archive From Yahoo?

How to save yahoo message archive before uninstalling yahoo without signing into yahoo messenger?

  • I have to uninstall yahoo. but I can't lose my message archive. how can I access it and save it before uninstalling the whole program?

  • Answer:

    You can go to C:\Program Files \Yahoo! \messenger \Profiles \youryahooprofilename \Archive \Messages and move these files to a different folder. (i.e. C:\saved-msgs) Then if you re-install YIM, just move (or copy) them back, However I've yet to be able to read the archives without using the 'message archive' feature on yahoo instant messenger.
