Answer 1

Hi,

If you want to make sure your archives are enabled you could try:

http://www.wackyb.co.nz/option,com_remository/Itemid,3894/func,fileinfo/id,11

Untick and then re-tick your ID to ensure the setting has been made correctly.

If you want to back your archives up (to prevent losing them again) check out WackyB-Archive Viewer:

http://www.wackyb.co.nz/yahoo/archive_viewer

Lets you view/search/save/print yahoo messenger archives under any ID with extra features to aid archive recovery. Save to plain or rich text (.rtf) with or without graphic smileys (emoticons). Single dates or automated (batch save) for entire ID archives

(Ensure your archives are switched on Ctrl-Shift-P, select Archive, select Save all of my messages)

Answer 2

What email program are you using if any? Who is the supplier of your email address - msn, google, hotmail, yahoo, ect...?

Like the good Dr said you cant get them back once their gone, but if you are using msn or hotmail (probably others too) you can create a new folder, example: SAVED and anything you put in there will stay in there. If you use Outlook and create the folder there instead of through the server the contents of the SAVED folder would not be on the server and you could potentially lose anything put in there.

Answer 3

You cant get them back once they are gone! You either have the wrong box checked, there are two save messages preferences, one will dump them when you log off, you must also remember to click the apply button to make the change!
