Hi, Leo, the Yahoo'message history file is a type of "DAT file", Pls tell me how can i open it with appropriate program? thnx

I *believe* it can only be opened by Yahoo Instant Messenger, logged in to the account that created it, and probably only if the file is in its original location.

But that's just a guess.

Hi, I always saved my instant messages on yahoo. I am looking for messages that I had with a friend back in 2004. All I can see is messages for 2006 and 2007. Is there a way to retreive messages as far as 2004? Thanks.

I would need to recover some contact information that was sent to me by YIM, unfortunately I didn't choose the option of saving all messages on Yahoo, neither did the other person. How can I do to recover this information?

I have downloaded super yahoo messenger rchive decoder and also Ydecode and both of then are working well but they have archived IMs that i cant find in my Yahoo messenger archive. When i long on Yahoo and look under history archive i cant find those Ims but they are displayed in Super messenger and Yahdecoder? Can anyone help me how to find that text file and put it in my Yahoo archive? Can it be that Super messenger decodes the text and Yahoo archive doesnt?
Thanks

If you back up the yahoo message history you can decode it using Super Yahoo Message Archive Decoder from http://www.piravi.com
It's available for free. Its a cool program
