Yes, depending on what Instant Messenger network are you in.\n\nIn Yahoo it is possible, the person just signs on to see the messages when the person was not on-line and the same is true for MSN.\n\nOn AIM, this is not possible unless you setup AIM to forward Messages to you via cell phone when you sign off. \n\nOn others, you just have to see the program.

This happened to me also.  I was going into the rooms via Yahoo front page under Chat.  I found if I went into rooms via Yahoo messenger( there is a tab for it) I could PM someone.

to send a pm, just click on the name of the person.. then you get a new conversation window, all what you talk there it's considered as private and cannot be seen by others rather than you and the person with who you're talking

You need to download the Yahoo(!) Messenger first and then you can add anyone on your address book and IM!

There could be many reasons!\ndo you really log off once you're done using messenger!\nif you dont, then yahoo does not send offline messages thinking that you are still online!\nor the settings in your preferences might be modified to not receive offlines.
