I’ve made a test and I can read previous conversations directly from Pidgin, so that means they’re stored somewhere… but could somebody tell me where, please? I’ve made several researches on the Internet and found nothing about that. I also tried to find some files on my Mac and got the same result: nothing.

Items whose names begin with "." are hidden in the Finder, but you can get there by choosing "Go to Folder…" from the Finder's "Go" menu and typing "~/.purple".

Well… well well well. Yes, now that you said that, I figure out how 
stupid I’ve been.
I’ve only been using Mac OS X for a couple of days now and still don’t 
understand everything (how folders are stored, etc.). On Linux, yes, I 
knew that Pidgin logs are in "~/.purple" which is really easy to find 
(Ctrl+H in the user directory to see hidden files and folders and here 
we go… which… doesn’t work on Mac OS), but I just couldn’t find anything 
on Mac OS X (I used Spotlight to make several researches). I should have 
tried to look for the same path, first, but I just didn’t think about it.

So, yes, apparently, I just have to use the same path. I spent several 
ours on that problem and the answer was right under my nose…

Well, anyway, thanks a lot for you answer!
