Thunderbrd 102.4.2: How do I make the entire history of a conversation in an XMPP chat appear in the chat column instead of seeing only one day at a time? The way it seems to work, I can only see one day's worth of chat messages at a time.

Hello there badstuff9. We have read your message. We try to help you.


in the past there have been no options to create it. and was considered a bug. there have been work arounds for this much-wanted feature to capture a look back at your chat history on thunderbird.

I can try to send you a few if you like?

regarding the creation of chat history for an xmpp chat service is a possibility.

Hello there again badstuff9.


There are a few different ways available. i will send you one.

for thunderbird chat is concerned. Try using an external recycle bin but decide for yourself. chats or not so that you create a list for those particular chats you use from Thunderbird chat.


An addon for firefox that can also be downloaded from us allows you to use the chat program with certain videos that you can also play.

I'm sorry..... You wrote this:

Can you write those instructions differently? I don't understand them, I don't understand what to do so that I can see all old chat (xmpp) messages without having to click on the individual past date.

Oke what programs are you using ? Can I ask?

Where do you use that chat Xmpp?Intigrated into Thunderbird? What kind of chat software do you use with this? Facebook chat or G mail chat?

Can you describe this issue with this question about your display options for chat’s? I need more information for this subject from you’re questions to us.

This option for chat history lists is provided. ok what program is this. The question to us was how can I view my chat history in my screen at the same time? The question was still a bit thin.
