A couple of options exist for parents who want to check on their child's conversations while they are instant messaging: recordings and temporary files.\n\nRecording allows you to record everything your child views as they are instant messaging.\n\nThe temporary file method allows you to view the written conversations.\n\nHere are a few links:\n\nhttp://www.chatchecker.com/ChatChecker/faqs.asp\n\nhttp://messenger.msn.com/Help/LearnMore.aspx [See Parental Controls]\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidsafetyfaq.mspx

if you have message archiving active on your messenger all you have to do is look under contacts and then select message archive.  if archiving is turned on then it will pull up a list of all your messages and you just find the message you're looking for either by date or ID

If you did not set up IM Logging, you can not pull up old conversations as they are not logged. To log future conversations, in AIM 6(newest version) Go to Edit>Settings>IM Logging to set up IM logging.

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.
