I'm talking about Fire here, not Adium. Fire has major trouble with
MSN now as MS changed their protocol and with fire being unmaintained
it can't handle a lot of the new messages that get sent. Adium is
being updated and maintained, so you're not likely to encounter
disconnects from MSN anymore frequently than with the MSN client
itself. The last few betas of Adium have had msn issues for some
people though in regards to contact visibility, but I've not actually
been affected by those.

then, I'm just coo like that.

Subject: Re: Question about Adium logging
I actually recall trying it a while back and you'd be lucky if
frequent disconnects were the worst you had. I found that it
would just crash whenever I tried to log into my MSN.

Well I don't know of any way to do this in Adium itself exactly,
but I think you're reacting to a problem that doesn't really
exist. Yes, there's no way really to take the log out of the list
without deleting it which also deletes the corresponding log
(note you could copy your logs for backup purposes though). But
you're not going to end up with a huge chat log. If you look at
the transcript viewer in Adium, each log is separated out by
contact and date. There's no reason you have to look at a log
from a year ago if that's not what your after, pull up the date
you're looking for. Further, there's a pop up button that allows
narrowing of the date selection, as well as a search field to
look through the logs either all of them or on a per-contact
basis. So, I think you're looking for a solution to a problem
that really doesn't exist.
Note: Fire is no longer being maintained, in fact most of the Fire
developers are the ones now working on Adium. In particular, it's
not very compatible with the current MSN protocols, so you'd have
a real issue with frequent disconnects on MSN if you tried it.

OK, I know this has come up before on here, and I know that I
have been told it's impossible, and it's not that I dont' trust
yall, as much as I feel it's rather rediculous that there would
be no way. I know that in preferences, under general, I can set
Adium not to log messages, however, I figure, is there notta way
to keep the log however clear it? I looked in the edit menu and
saw an option called clear, but it's dimmed. I mean, dang it! I
don't want to be chatting with someone a year out from today,
only to find that that unknown item when interacted with, gives
me a log from a year or more back to the present. That's um,
kind a, not good? I know I could do vo shift end to get to the
bottom of it, but still! that's kind a not very good programming
in my opinion, to not have a way to clear that log upon command,
or at the very least, set it to keep a log only for x amount of
time. Frankly, I'd almost be convinced to switch to Fire, work
in progress, or not, if I can't straighten this out. I know a
lotta people may just say, get over it. Deal with it, for god
sake, and, frankly? call me picky, I know, but, dont' you all
think this is just a little stupid that they'd not have a way to
do this? Boy would I be interested in knowing if there was a
way that I've missed.
Chris.
