I changed my Yahoo ID back in 2003 and made the mistake of deleting the account. I need to view archived messages from that account now. I have tried both of the decoders mentioned in the forums with no luck. Even changed the file name from the old ID to the new. The IDs and times display normally, but all the text appears to be encrypted..here is an example:

Try this I used it a while ago. It worked.
Seeing as how the account was deleted in 2003, there is a good chance that you’ll be able to re-register the same ID.
Just go to the sign up page for yahoo and enter the ID in the box on the form and click ‘check availability’.
You should be able to transfer the archives to the folder and read them.
There are free programs around also, try googling.
I actually didnt think they would recycle IDs that fast but they did..That didnt work either…still get stuff like this where the message text would be:
swohguy4u (04:31:22 PM): F”5″4xj]+b;*=7Sp(*
The IDs are there as well as the times.
Did you check the link I posted?
Yes I did..I thought I said in one post that I had tried both programs..I am actually talking with support for the program you mentioned and the developer says I have the wrong Yahoo ID and that is why it will not decode, but the ID is correct.
