I checked because I mistakenly installed the new version – but had the old too.
The cloud save have existed since before (don't know when it was introduced), and worked like "save mail on server for awhile" for POP accounts, so when switching between devices, you'd get all mail there too (even if POPing). The history saved by old Skype locally was however long you told it to save: "Forever", or something shorter. (Pehaps for moving to some other chat software …) There's a SkypeLogView, but also a SkypeContactsView, to export also those to various formats. … which works directly on the local main.db IIRC. This export saves conversations in a nice, human-readable format, but then also in one html file per "conversation" (~contact).īut if you want another format (maybe to get all in one file), or just not move things around, use this: *** UPDATE *** - I was able to get Skype 7.X (non-portable) to work. Sad to stop using Skype Portable, but no choice at this point.Īlso, I'm not 100% sure but I think now all Skype Chat history is in the cloud Then I installed Skype 8.X which then allowed me to use the export 7.X history which it will do for you and give you a nice browsable version in html format.
Then I took my skype username folder from portable and put it into:
Now Skype 7.X non-portable won't start either, but I did try to login just so it recognized the username and maybe created the right folders/links to data for that username. What I did was download the non-portable version of Skype 7.X from If I install Skype 8.X it is a different software all together and it has an option to export 7.X chat history but of course it doesn't see the portable version. It would log me in and log me out right away telling me my version was outdated. This morning my Skype Portable 7.X stopped working.
