You can download history from the server to Miranda by right-clicking on a contact and selecting the appropriate menu item.

Please note that this will only download files whose size does not exceed that specified in "Settings → Events → File transfers → Download cloud files automatically only if their size is less than X kilobytes". If you want to download all files, set the setting to zero and clear the contact's history, then download the history again.

Thank you for the instructions. Although I haven't used Skype for a long time, I'll sentimentally download the history. There are messages from my mom, who is no longer with us.

Well so far, today it totally quit staying online and won't pick up anything during the few seconds it seems online...

Also, any plans to update it to work with the Teams chat?

Thank you!

[dartraiden]

Maybe.

Cool, very interesting! I've heard of Pidgin before, it's been around for many years. So it's based on the libpurple library...

Hi. I have the same problem. Although I see people on Skype and can call, I see all the contact in Miranda as offline. I think it should be working till MS closes it. And I'd really be very happy for Teams support when it's a successor of Skype. I'm a happy Miranda user since about 2003 or something and really don't want to leave the best IM client. Thanx a lot.

Half of the requests fall on SSL handshake. If such an error happens in the contacts read request, then there will be no online contacts

We removed error checks at all otherwise the connection drops completely. But we have no idea how to fix it.

Hi.Yeah now it connects, but I see only myself and no other one. :-)
