Think you lost your Messages archives?

Hey everyone, just a quick little note about the Messages chat archives. In 10.8, they were stored in ~/Library/Messages/Archive. If you have installed 10.9 and you were frightened by that folder being gone, DO NOT FEAR! They're just in a new location:

~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive

I hope this helps anyone else who is puzzled by this change!

Any idea where the new ones are being stored? (post Mavericks install)

It seems ~/Library/Messages stores iMessage inside.
