RE: Encrypting archived logs
yes you can, but it will take some effort and manual labor...

First of all make sure you are set as "appear offline" in MSN Messenger, so nobody can start talking with you and interfear with the chatlogs.

Then start by moving every file out of your current logdirectory to some place else, just to store them while we are going to use the logdirectory.

After the chatlogdirectory is cleared, you can start moving the files which are in your archived directories to this logdirectory (do this directory per directory).

Then choose the option in Plus! to encrypt your chatlogs. It will (re)encrypt all the files there...

After this, move the files (now encrypted) back to were they were in the archive directory...

And repeat this process for each archive directory you have.


The same scheme/work method can be used to re-encrypt your current chatlogs with a new password. Of course, you don't need to move anything in that case, because the files you want to re-encrypt are already in your current chatlog directory...
