plz guys I need my last offline message that I got from a friend,it was soooo important,I accedently closed it b4 I could read it,HOW CAN I GET IT BACK help me now and as fast as u can ppplllllzzzz

if you use logs, it should be there. Otherwise I can't think of any other way apart from asking.

if you have chat logging enabled, open the log

bah.

sorry,but what are the chat log,and give me the steps exactly  plllzzz

OK if you go File -> Open Message History -> Find Contact -> Click OK and it all should be there.

If you can't see it there:
Plus! -> Open Chat Logs -> Find month -> find email of contact -> find messages

If all else fails just ask again...never hurts.

the first one I tried it said ,no matches meets ur conatct and also no bla bla bla exist,
and the second  one howa can I get them from where?????I couldn't

see unless you know the email of the contact you have no hope of finding it. And for it not to show up using the "File -> Open Message History" method means that you are not using Windows Live Messenger otherwise it would have showed up with them regardless of whether he is online or not.

Using the "Plus! -> open Chat Logs" method requires you to know the email of the contact, don't know it? well the only other thing I can give you is...

Find the contact -> right click -> Messenger Plus! extras -> open chat log

if that doesn't help then just ask them to repeat what they said when the next come on or upgrade to windows live messenger (if your on windows XP or above) and send them an offline message asking them to repeat it.

give me a link for the update can u??

1. Go to your contactlist and select the menu: Tools > Options > Messages
   
   Check if "Automatically keep a history of my conversations" is enabled.
   
   In case it isn't, proceed to step 3.
   
   In case it is, check the folder name under "Save my conversations in this folder". Remember it carefully.
   
   
2. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to that directory you've found in step 1.
   (the shortcut key for starting Windows Explorer is <WIN><E>. And "Windows Explorer" is not "Internet Explorer")
   
   In this directory you'll find all the chat logs made by Messenger. Search for the one of your friend and double click the file. The file will open up in your browser and you will be able to see the log. If you're in luck, the offline message will have been logged.
   
   
3. Do you have the addon "Messenger Plus!" installed? If so, Messenger Plus! can log chats on its own. And it does this by default. So unless you changed any logging options (which I strongly doubt seeing that you don't know what logging is), Messenger Plus! would have logged the conversation also.
   
   To find out where the log is you need to go to your contactlist and select the menu: Plus! > Chat Log Viewer.
   
   The Chat Log Viewer from Messenger Plus! will pop up and here you can browse all the stored chat logs made by Messenger Plus!. Find the one from your friend...

The above is basically what MattyRid said, but in a more clear and detailed manner.

Do not type the name or email of your friend. Instead search your friend in the list and select him/her.

The word wheel ("find a contact" feature) of Messenger has big shortcommings and will not always list the proper contacts when you type in a part of their name or email address.

MattyRid didn't gave the exactly correct menu names, but the names are very similar nonetheless. See my explaination above.
