  • how to use the archive in YM for MAC OS X

    From VijaKhara@VijaKhara@gmail.com to comp.sys.mac.system on Monday, April 10, 2006 05:35:51

    I install the latest version of Yahoo messenger for my MAC OS X. I
    want to use the archive function in Yahoo messernger to store all of my chatting messages so that sometime I can re-read them.
    However I cannot see the "archive" in the menu of the YM. In YM for
    Windows, this function is very common. YM of MAC OS X does not support "archive"?

    Plz guide me!

    Thanks

    You'll probably need a subpoena from a government or police agency to
    get the chat logs.

    Hi,

    It doesn't have anything as "chat history". I just launched "original messenger". Yahoo pretty gave up messenger and they will merge with MSN messenger soon.

    If you don't use "video" options, get Fire.app , a trustable opensource program to keep in contact with Yahoo friends. It does archive messages
    even spotlight compatible format.

    http://fire.sourceforge.net/

    It is a native OS X cocoa application and free/simple.

    Wow. I've never been able to use or view webcams over YM. "Servers are
    busy". I thought that was 'normal'. Is there a special 'fix' required?

    Thanks

    There is "fix" for OS X 10.4.x there but I am near sure it will break
    things on 10.3.9
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29522

    Nothing related to "busy" problem fixed of course.

    Yes,they (Yahoo messenger team) are that pathetic to make an ordinary
    user his own patch since he fed up.

    I suggest trying this (without paying money,free version) to make Mac
    to PC video calls

    http://www.sightspeed.com/

    It is multiplatform and even universal binary. (so it means they care)
