# Message History and Logs

Adium's storage of past messages consists of two components: full chat logs and most recent messages in the chat window, called message history.

### How do I view my chat logs?
There are three methods to opening up the chat logs window: Choose "Chat Transcript Viewer" in the Window menu. Click the Clock icon in the chat window's toolbar. Select a contact from the Contact list, then choose "View Chat Transcripts" in the Contact menu.

### How do I disable chat logging?
Open the Preferences pane from the Adium menu. Uncheck "Log messages" under the General tab.
