If you missed any messages while you were offline, when you sign in again there will be a thing that pops up that says offline messages, you can read them from there, but once you close that you cant see them again unless you have your messages archived.

off line messages will be displayed as soon as you log in. \nif you close the offline message window, then those messages will be deleted and can never ever be recovered.\n\nlook in to your settings and see if you have disabled offline message notification.

Go to www.e-messenger.net and log in with your Yahoo! ID and password; as soon as you're in, your offline messages will pop up! Remember to disable your pop up block, if you have any, else, they won't show!

it depends on which cell service you have, here's the list\n\nhttp://www.tech-recipes.com/instant_messaging_tips939.html\n\nRemember, only PART of the message will be accessable.

depends which messages you wanna view...if you mean your current IM's..ie once that are currently being sent, just log onto any computer with messenger and log in w/ your account.  \nBut...if you want to view old messages from your archive...that can only be viewed from your computer, or the computer they were saved on.  Archive is computer specific hence can only be viewed from the computer that recieved/sent the messages.

The only thing i can suggest is clicking on your contact tab in messenger and then click on message archive. Once you do that, you can click on the id of the person who sent the offline message. If you don't know who sent the offline message, you may have to click on all of your contacts to find it.\n\nI haven't found an easier way to find offline messages once the box has closed.

Retrieve?  that infers that you HAD the messages there BEFORE.  Did you save the messages before you closed out of Instant Messenger? If you didn't save the messages while you still had them visable, then you can't Retrieve them.  In the future, either copy all the text in the Message window and save it to Word, or Notepad or some other editor, and/or click the correct options to Save All Your Messages automatically.
