As expected, unchecking the setting "IMs appear as chat" means that a button "IM received" appears and I have to look at the IM history to see them. That's fine.

Even with this setting, however, when IMs have been stored whilst offline, I log in and the IMs appear as chat as well as in the IM box. I would have expected that I would just get the "IM received" button.

Not only do offline IMs appear as chat, so do online ones. With "IMs appears as chat" unchecked, I would expect the "IM received" button to appear and only the IM dialog to contain the messages, not the regular chat area on the client.
