Zimbra 8.8.8 folder 'Chat' & delete Chat History

Post by Mr_Pond »

- After we installed the Zimbra version 8.8.8, we couldn't find the folder 'Chat' in the Menu bar on the left side.

- Please advise how we can delete Chat History in the version 8.8.8 of this Zimbra.

Hi,

the chat folder does not exist anymore. History is now stored in IM conversations like in other chat and it seems to me, that there is no possibility to delete something in the conversation.

It also seems for me, that old chat conversations are lost or just no longer visible.

Is it not really possible delete chat history? Users share details and even passwords over it and want, pretend, to delete it after.

I have the same problem:
The old history chats are disappeared (not such a big problem, luckily I saved the info needed)
The new chat can't be deleted: I don't like it, I want to delete if I shared personal info (password, amounts and so on) by chat.

I've found that you can purge all logs in mysql.

All chat history is in the chat database under the MESSAGE table.

Just do a
DELETE FROM MESSAGE;
and that should purge all of your chat logs.

I would just like to ask how long is the retention of the chat history? BTW, I'm testing 8.8.12 OSE version.

Thanks!
