[iPhone] Need IM that lets me backup chat logs to my Mac.

[Glassed Silver]

Heya guys...

I scanned the major multi IM's but none of them seem to give me the ability to save the chat logs to my Mac...

I'm being quite pedantic over chat logs, idk why, but to me it's like the alternative to diaries and actually it's better than a diary.

So yea, that's why I want to save my logs to my Mac. (Also: readable! Not in an obscure format that only the app will be able to read)

I'm currently using meedbo, but it's not easy to save your logs, and also I'm not sure whether your non-Meebo accounts get saved (yes, I am logged on to Meebo, but what about the WLM account?)

Either way, the online backup is not perfect as I read you can't download, but just view the logs on the web from any device. Yes, I found a workaround for it, but it adds a lot of hassle...

Thanks for any input! :)

IM+? (Their FAQs about chat logs.)

Doesn't entirely seem that good to me, as I can't easily download it...

I've found Remodium to do a good job in soon future, when it hopefully might support remote (not "on-the-same-WLAN" support) usage.

It will save to my Mac's Adium chat log.

I use Pidgin on my PC, and it allows me to save chat logs. Dunno about Mac, but they do have a Mac client, so maybe it's possible?

Yeah, I just facepalmed when I saw where this was posted. /selffacepalm. Apologies for wasting your time :D

Just to update everyone:

Remodium needs a special open port, I forgot to configure that.

It now runs remotely on-the-go, too and it's awesome, as it uses my Mac's Adium messenger as a server.

Every conversation saves to my Mac's Adium chat log.

Perfect fit.
