Here is the help page that helped me: Q: How do I enable and view archives? A: You can automatically save a history of all your instant messages, alerts, conferences, and text messages. -Click the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Preferences." -Click the "Archive" category. -You have three choices for archiving your messages. You can select one of the three options given, including selecting "No" to not save your messages. -You also have three choices for archiving your call history. You can select one of the three options given, including selecting "No" to not save your call history. -Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window. Note: Uncheck the "Enable Archiving" option to disable archiving. To view your archive: -Click the "Contacts" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Message Archive." -A new window called "Message Archive for your ID" will appear. Select the archive folder you want to review. Note: Archives (".dat" files located on your system) are encrypted and can only be viewed by the Yahoo! ID that created them. These archives are stored locally on your system, so the conversations held on that specific computer are only accessible from that computer. After archives are deleted, they cannot be retrieved.
