MSN Messenger chat history and old emails

Question

Hello, 

When I was 17 in 2003 I spoke a lot with a boy on MSN Messenger and we also sent eachother a lot of emails. It was like my first love, although we never met back then 

Now 17 years later, we have found each other again and we finally have met and we are crazy in love! 

I would love to read some old conversations from back then. Is there any way to get this chat history? Is it still stored somewhere? Our old computers don't work anymore. 

Also I would like to know if it possible to get back some old emails that are unfortunately deleted? 

I know it is impossible maybe but I want to try because it is very valuable for us. 

I am even willing to pay for it haha😉 

I know Facebook can give you a whole archive from years ago with all your messages and stuff. Does Microsoft also provide something like this? 

Thanks! Bella
