Extended roaming features

Great! The roaming feature (personal message and photo) is a step in the
right direction. I checked but it doesn’t work with WebMessenger! Is this
indented? Does it only work with the 8.1 Beta software installed on a local
computer? That would make little sense because a minority of computers have a
WL Messenger locally installed and few people always use the latest releases.

Secondly, and most important, I would like you to extend the roaming
features, in the clever way GoogleMail/GoogleTalk do. I am so sick and tired
of having several chat histories/logs on different computers, at home, at
work at a friend's, and when I travel and use the WebMessenger all
conversations are lost anyway. This situation is annoying!
Please let the chat histories "roam" and make them save to ONE PLACE,
wherever and whenever accessible and searchable in a convenient way in my
Hotmail/LiveMail account, like GoogleMail has it. Communication should work
like a unified messaging system, handling chats and e-mail like equal forms
of conversations. I use messenger for business also and generally I want to
keep precious information at hand also when I travel!
I think now that we have enough storage in the e-mail accounts, the option
of saving the chat histories would not pose a capacity problem.

Thank you for considering and implementing this! I hope then WLM will be
again ahead of Google in this case.

Greetings Rick,

The WebMessenger hasn't been updated in a long time so naturally it won't get the roaming
information. There is however an update planned, but I do not know if this is a feature that
will be added.

Agree with the message logs. Although, it does seem that feature has been slightly forgotten
as it hasn't been updated or changed since 6.0.

This is exactly what I'd like to see as well. It's the one thing I keep on
hoping to see added each time I see a new messenger version released.
