If you have chosen to save all your messages, they are stored in your archive until you delete them. To see your messages:~
Click on "Messenger".
Click on "Preferences".
Click on "Archive".
Click on "View Archive".
Then click on the person's name whose messages you want to read.
However, if you haven't chosen to save your messages, right click on the person, click on "Instant Message" and in the main chat window, click on "Show recent Messages". It may still be there.
