If you lose your entire archive of correspondence, most messaging programs offer different options, one of which is file backup. The Mail.ru Agent program has its own recovery system.

Software Agent Mail.ru
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to run a program for quick exchange of messages between users of the mail.ru network. To do this, double-click on the icon with the program logo on the desktop. It can also be launched through the "Start" menu (section "All Programs").
Step 2
To view the archive of messages of a specific contact from your list, you need to open this list, right-click on the contact and select the option of the same name. If you failed to view the messages you were looking for, it is recommended to try the method of restoring the archive via e-mail on mail.ru. Since this function has become available relatively recently, some messages may not be displayed.
Step 3
Most of these programs save all changes to the message archive on the hard disk. The Mail.ru Agent also has this function, which saves data in hidden files. To view these files, you must activate the option to display hidden and system files. To do this, open any window "Windows Explorer", click the top menu "Tools" and select the line "Folder Options". In the window that opens, click on the "View" tab and check the box "Show hidden folders and files".
Step 4
Now navigate to the folder that contains the hidden archived files of your contacts list messages. Open the document with any text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. By default, these files are located in the account folder or the Application Data directory in the same user folder.
Step 5
To save the files of the archive of correspondence in another directory, you must click the top menu "File" and select the item "Save As" (in an open text editor). In the window for saving the file, specify its name and future location. Then click on the "Save" button or press the Enter key.
