Most users don't want or need to journal the IM logs - in fact, most people
don't even use journal, that's why its not visible by default on the nav
pane. If the journal tool sold better you can bet the developer woulda
updated it for the newer versions.

Messenger keeps a log which is searchable by windows search tools and does
not require outlook to read (it's readable in notepad) which meets the needs
for most people who want their IM history. You can also copy and paste any
conversation from your IM client to the Notes field of a journal form if you
need it journaled in outlook.

Thanks Diane,

It is a shame that it seems so logical that you would want an outlook
journal to record messenger conversation and time.

I am not aware of any addin that does it that works with Outlook 2007.
