Change Gaim Data folder

Where are my Gaim settings and data (including logs) saved?

As of 0.69, shfolder.dll is used to determine the location for a user's app data.
On Windows ME this will be something like C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\username and on Win 2k/XP C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data.

This can be overridden by setting the GAIMHOME environmental variable (as of v1.1.0).
Logs are stored in this directory in a subdirectory called "logs."
