Since Live Messenger has been discontinued, you cannot "recover" the account. The histories are no longer recoverable if you have also changed machines.

And if I still have the computer from that time, would it be possible?
there used to be "back in the day," a folder: Documents and settings\your computer name\my documents.
In that last folder, there were the conversation histories that were saved by default (normally).
If not, reopen the application, then go to: tools>options>messages>conversation history, the window should give you the directory where the conversations were saved...
