Why do you want to know?  If you knew that person you would have all the info you need to contact them.  LEAVE IT ALONE!! Stalker is not a GOOD LOOK for you!

Ok, first off you need to make sure that you turn logging off in your Messenger, and then you go into your documents and under the FileLib look for the particular account,a nd thent he name of the person you talked to.\n\n\nIf this is someone you are not suppose to talk to, perhaps you should not talk to this person again.

If you deleted the message from your inbox, it is stored in Trash for an X amount of days.  Check your TRASH box icon, however if you already deleted your TRASH, then there is no way of Yahoo retrieving your mail-I know I've asked before, once it's deleted they CAN NOT help you any further.  There are too many accounts for them to be handling trivial matters--basically 'if they did it for one person, they would have to do it for the millions' that use YAHOO--and that is IMPOSSIBLE.  Be careful what you trash.\n\nGood luck.

There might not be a straight forward method of doing that through the Messenger. What you can do is open your Address book on Yahoo (address.yahoo.com) and delete the names from there that you don't want on your Messenger anymore. Think that should be the easiest way.

On the messenger screen click on 'MESSENGER'.  Scroll down and click on 'MY CONTACT DETAILS'.  And delete your first and last name from there.

That depends on which side inputed your last name. If you are in the other persons address book, then they would have to remove it. However, only they are seeing it anyway. If it is in your profile, clcik on "Contacts" then "View Profile..." on Messenger. Then select "View My Profile" and change your info in their.

you can't erase them, but they can be deleted from the contact list when you sign on.

they may also have their "online" status masked. That's something that your messenger won't be able to see or update.

Sure you can. \n\nThere is a search bar at the top of your screen type in something from either the subject line, of to whom it was sent.\n\nThough only good if you don't auto-erase your outgoing messages.

You can't delete your id from a friend's computer, but you can make yourself 'invisible' to that particular person when you sign into messenger. In that way, they think you're not online and won't IM you.

it depends, if you have activated your message archiving and if you already had a previous conversation with any of those contacts of yours then yahoo messenger will save those offline messages, the reason for that is yahoo creates a folder for each of your contacts that you had a conversation with, and once it is able to find a folder with that contact's id then it'll save those offline messages.

You have to have that feature on before you can check saved messages.  If you do have that feature on here's what you do:\n1. Go to CONTACTS on yahoo messenger (need to be logged in)\n2. Go to MESSAGE ARCHIVE\n3. That should show you messages from a couple of weeks back (if you have the feature on)\nTo turn on the message archive:\n1. Go to MESSENGER\n2. Go to PREFERENCES\n3. On the left hand side go to ARCHIVE\n4. Click on "Yes, save all my messages"\nHope that helped
