Dear Skype Experts, recently I have noticed that the Instant Messages (IM) directed to me are being delivered to my Skype ONLY when I am online. In the past, when I was offline, these messages from my friends were being queued somewhere and then delivered to me when I turned my Skype on.

All channels are independent of bot framework, even the internal channels like Skype, Skype for Business and MS Teams. If one or more channels behave a specific way, this does not mean all channels behave like that. All channels have their own independent features. This is a question for Skype for Business as the behavior of channels themselves is well outside of the scope of the Bot Framework SDK.

If Skype for Business does not accept messages on the user's behalf while they are not logged in, there is nothing that can be done within the SDK to change that. If a channel does not behave the way you would like, you need to get in contact with the channel and ask them if they can put your feature request on their roadmap.

The bot framework SDK just connects to the channels it does not enforce how they behave.
