Today I’ll be releasing the RC of the Classic Chatlog to Email Converter

For you to use this you must satisfy the following conditions:

  • That chatlogs you want converted must pre-date Messenger Plus 3.0 or whatever version that was released prior to June 2006
  • You must have python installed (preferably the latest stable 2.x version)
  • You must have chardet installed
  • You must install Thunderbird

Todo:

  • Threading for even faster performance!

Wishlist:

  • Automatic uploading to your email account

I actually have a WORKING unicode supported script for HTML chatlogs, however, I’ve yet to get the emoticons/handwriting pics working but you’ll probably see a release some time soon in the future.

Instructions:

  1. Move all your pre-June 2006 messenger plus chatlogs to a folder
  2. Place the script inside the folder
  3. Double click to run the script
  4. A file called “Chatlog” will be created
  5. Move that file to <Path to thunderbird preferences>\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\Local Folders
  6. Open up Thunderbird and drag drop the chatlogs to an email account that supports imap
