Managing Your Voice Messages

Your Yahoo! Messenger voice messages box can store up to 20 voice messages. You can review any of the stored messages any time you’re signed into Messenger, as well as delete messages that you no longer want to keep.

 

Here’s How

  1. To see your stored voice messages, both new and old, click the voice message button near the contact search box. If you have new messages that you haven’t listened to, the button appears with a "burst" on it.

    Tip: You can also select Contact Options > Voice Messages & Call History from the Actions menu in the IM window or Voice Messages & Call History from the Contacts menu in the Messenger window.

    The Voice Messages & Call History window opens with the Voice Messages option selected on the left and all your stored messages listed on the right.
