Is it possible to collect hand histories for tables that you are not currently seated at? I am using Poker Tracker of course.

Thanks

There may be software available to do it but it's against the ToS and you will get banned from FTP if caught.

Oh Ok. I know it used to work a long time ago but I wasn't sure if it was still legal. Thanks

I watched a YouTube video on it just now.
Basically they said to just leave a window open (the guy had 16 open) and PT3 will grab them.
This doesn't work very well with PokerTracker 3. PokerTracker will import up to a maximum of 30 observed hands. Then it locks. The only way to have it start importing observed hands again is to wait 30 minutes, close the software, and run it again. So don't believe everything you see on YouTube.

As for the legalities of this, I believe HEM was allowing unlimited data mining. pokerstars told them to limit it to 30 observed hands or else they would be placed on the list of prohibited software. Because of this, PokerTracker started allowing their software to mine 30 hands as well (source).

PokerStars has said:
The actual guideline issued by us is that a third-party program can import up to 30 observed hands per SESSION (not per table). We define a session in a particular way so that a player cannot leave their machine unattended and use the third-party program to datamine, or do so with the assistance of scripting.
...You can use any permitted third-party program to observe up to 30 hands per session.
