Hi!
I am new to this forum and i wanna say Hallo!
I have a question.I have to reinstall my windows and want to save my Message History of Yahoo before i format my Harddrive.
I know that i can save my messages manually.But is there a way to reimport them later into my freshly installed messenger again?
Or do i have to live with it that i can not see my old chattings anymore?

Thanks a lot!
Just wanna say that this forum is so cool!:)

I would imagine you could just save the files/folders in which you messages are stored; and after you format and reinstall, just replace that file within Yahoo. If you look in your Yahoo dir, there’s a folder called StoredIM. I would imagine you could save all your messages to that folder and just copy it before formatting, then replace the new one with the old one after reinstallation.

If you want to save the message archive, they’re in the folder
