Importing Instant Messages (IM)

You can use the ED Loader utility to extract text produced by instant messaging (IM) clients. ED Loader processes the following IM formats:

Yahoo IM

MSN Messenger

AOL IM

Extracted text is saved to an HTML file. The HTML file contains the following information about messages:

Date and time sent

From

To

Message

 

Additional details specific to the Yahoo and AOL IM formats are provided in the following table:

IM Format

Notes

Yahoo IM

 

The archive file name should be in the format: date_personid.dat. For example,  20101103-MikeP.dat. The sender name  is taken from the file name.

If the selected archive file is not located within the directory installed by Yahoo, then the name that appears in the To field is displayed as "Remote User."

Messages that were generated by Yahoo messenger are not displayed.

In the case of conference messaging, the To list will contain the names of the participants who exchanged messages with the group.

File transfer details are not available in the archive file.

AOL (AIM7)

 

The archive file for AIM does not provide user sign in or sign out details, or file transfer details.

In the case of conference messaging, the To list will contain the names of the participants who exchanged messages with the group.
