AIM 6.0 Q&A Volume V
I thought I’d answer a few “quickies” that I often see in the search queries used to access this blog in one form or another. If you have a question about AIM 6.0, just ask. You can leave a comment with your question and I will do my best to answer them.
Q: Can AIM 6.0 let me send messages while away?
A: YES. Make sure you check the “Allow me to send IMs while away” option in the Away Status tab of the IM window.
Q: How do I check offline IMs?
A: Offline IMs are delivered every time you sign-on from any AIM client.
Q: Where are offline stored?
A: They are stored on the host. You can send up to 40 of them per 24 hours and the host will save up to 40 of them per SN for as long as two weeks. Your buddy must have you in their buddy list in order to save offline IMs from you.
Q: How to import AIM 5.x settings into AIM 6.0
A: This is done for you when you install AIM 6.0 for the first time.

I have been using AIM 6.0 since it first came out. In the past 2 weeks, I have been having a problem wtih offline IMs. Each time I sign on, I get the same offline IMs showing up and I cannot get rid of them.
Normally, when I have offline IMs, they come up when I sign on and that is it - they don’t come back each time I sign in again.
Anyone else experience this? Any idea how to get rid of them? My friends say that for the past 13 days they get the message that my offline storage is full and they cannot send offline IMs.
Help?

Hey folks, I probably should have done this a while ago, but I am now closing the comment on this post. Look for a more recent post to ask your questions in. Thanks.
