Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / December 2006Import saved conversations into new machine
I copied everything from my old user account to FW drive, rebuilt my MBP and reinstalled 10.4.8. Using MSN 6.0.1. Now I want to import old saved conversations so I can read them using View > Conversation menu. Any ideas? > I copied everything from my old user account to FW drive, rebuilt my > MBP and reinstalled 10.4.8.

I never save my conversations, but I *suspect* they are saved in the ~/Document/Microsoft User Data folder. Take a look there to figure out whether you can find the file. If you can, I would simply copy it over to the same location on the other Mac.

However on closer inspection that I had 2 folders - Microsoft Messenger History and MSN Messenger History. The former contained HMTL files which were readable outside of MSN. Must have happened with updated version.

So if you move the files to the Microsoft Messenger folder, does it make them show up in the Conversation menu??

If you need to import your files you need to clear your com.messenger.microsoft.plist file in your ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder and setup Messenger from the First Time Wizard. At the end of the setup, we do the upgrade of the old history files.

Thanks a lot for the information Rebecca, Corentin Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) http://www.cortig.net/wordpress/ --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire hello there I have also recently got a new machine and backed up my conversation history files [well actually the entire Microsoft User Data folder that has all my mails and settings in it] but when I put it back on my new computer I can see my conversation history, but it seems to have lost the dates on all the conversations. it now cant list them in date order because the date field just reads " ---- " on closer inspection on the Microsfot User Data folder, now that messenger6 has upgraded the conversation files to an html format, I can open each html file ok and also each .htm file has the correct date in the filename eg. "Messenger 04.06.06 somebody@hotmail.com.htm" but why won the conversation archive read these dates anymore. it used to be ok im sure in older versions of messenger. any help would be much appreciated thanks kevin On 7/11/06 16:41, in article 1hofhme.1d6juwq16nxs7cN%korventeen@NoSpam.mvps.org, "Corentin Cras-Méneur" <korventeen@NoSpam.mvps.org> wrote: >> We import the files on first run of the application.
