IM, Multiple Logged In PC, Simultaneous record of chat

Jun 9, 2010 10:41PM PDT

Is anyone aware of a way to keep record of all incoming & outgoing text and IM chats. AIM allows mutiple logins, and I guess when you're idle the texts are supposed to forward to your phone as SMS. I would like to keep one central record of the incoming and outgoing texts and IM as I also use these for business and would like a record similar to email. I have a gmail account and I use Outlook. So wether I receive or send an email through Outlook or gmail it's in both places. I was wondering if the same could be accomplished for text messages. AIM allows you to send chats as SMS and vice versa. I did notice the other day when I sent a chat it appeared on both AIM's I was logged into but when the person responded it only showed up on 1 of the logins. It did not forward to my phone but I guess that only happens if both logins are idle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
