I have Skype 2.8 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Under the the chat menu is an option called "Recent Chats". This allows me to see logs of recent chats, but not of older ones.
I know the older ones are stored because they are in ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/username/chatmsg256.dbb. This file when put in a text editor has text chat information from all my previous Skype chats. It is however stored in an unknown file format that I do not know how to parse.
Does Skype have a built-in log viewer (like Adium's) that I can use to access these older logs?
Answer
I'm not sure if this shows the entire history, but try the following. Whether the contact is online or offline, pop up the chat window.
Then click "All" under "View earlier messages:".
Alternatively, click the gear icon for the contact and select "View Chat History". That generates an html file that is opened in your web browser window.
The reason I'm not sure if this shows all the history is because I can't fully remember when my chat history began on this computer.
