Although I have not used dexrex and I cannot vouch for its usefulness, I did come across it on the Internet. This application is designed to retrieve old chat texts from your old instant messenger conversations. They have a motto or tagline that states that they will save one message at a time. It is supposed to work with a whole slew of instant messenger services including AIM, Skype, Jabber, Google Talk, and Windows Live. If you opt for this route, you will need to sign in using your Yahoo! ID as well as your personal password. You’ll also have to download and install a file that will do the work of retrieving your old Yahoo text chats. It’s a painless process and you get all the instructions you need. It can’t hurt to try. This application allows you to store your old chats in a dexrex account, but to do so, you need to have Java installed on your computer.
