Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : How to log AIM conversation?

[wheimeng]

Hi there,

I have been searching around to software add-on for AIM to automatically log down all conversation.

Any idea on that? I don't want to use trillian because it has some conflict with my laptop.

Download AIM 4.4, it's an older version, but comes with logging installed. I can upload to whoever wants it. It doesn't have all the 5.0+ features, but it's perfect for me.

Or you can buy DeadAIM.

What are the features that 5.0 has and 4.4 doesn't?

Basically I just need to IM / receive IM people. Nothing more than that, even receiving files.

Where can I get 4.4?

[Trifolic]

Use trillian. It puts all your IM's in 1 program, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ. It has logging built into it. www.trillian.cc If you just want to use it for AIM, thats fine as well, it even runs at a lower CPU usage than AIM does..

I'm using MyIM and AIM 4.8.2790. Works great.

You can get it from oldversion.com, but that's not the original and they put stuff in it. Here's the file that I use.

I don't know exactly what is in the newer versions, but I do know I don't need them. AIM 4.4 is a "Staff" version, it never was released, but was leaked. I guess the logging never was liked by the beta testers, since it was never added.

I also tried Trillian Pro 1.0 back in the day, never liked that either. I just use 4.4 and don't worry about upgrading.

4.4 doesnt have VOICE option or SECURITY modes though..

With 5.2.3277 i an talk w/someone SECURLY and BY VOICE!!

As I stated before, it does not have all the options that the 5.0+ versions do. I would never use the voice chat or the other features in a millions years. Although the multiple screen name options in 5.5 is nice, I don't have more then 1 account for one computer.

I use IMGrabber

Whats AIM? I like to AIM big guns at little squirrels!






j/k - I'm really loopy right now

Did anyone mention DeadAIM? jdennis.net and for $5 you've got logging, tabs, et cetera.

I use DeadAIM3 which was free and AIM4.8 from the MyIM site, personally.

I agree with LinuxAdmin, IMGrabber. Used it alot in the past.

2 things about this thread:
To "The Dude": He said he didn't need anything else besides send/recieve IMs. Your post was completely useless, not to mention that is0lized even said that it didn't have all the features.
To "Trifolic": He said that trillian did not work on his machine. Read closer.

You would use GAIM

Although I do like gaim, I would never use it on a Windows machine
