    With the threaded PM system you won't actually run out of space. The counter will fill up, but it shouldn't stop you from receiving PMs.
    Ah. Was wondering about that, after getting the warning to clear my inbox. Figured out how to clear selected 'sent items', but not how to clear selected 'inbox items'.

    Go to Inbox. Hit 'edit folders' in the 'my messages' window upper left. Then, hit 'sent items' in the 'standard folders' window. You can then tick off which sent items you want to delete. This does not work, however, with 'inbox items'.

    Cheers,

    Ken

    It might not, but apparently it DOES stop you from sending any more. I got this today:

    The following errors occurred with your submission
    You have reached your stored private message quota and cannot send any further messages until space has been created.

    That would be a Catch-22.

    It looks like Dan tweaked things and I can send PM's again. Yeah Dan!

    Yeah, I think there was a security issue so Dan disabled it. I guess it has been re-enabled?

    I ran out of space yesterday, and got this auto email:
    "has just tried to send you a private message. However, your private messages box on FPGeeks Forum has reached the specified quota. In order to receive further private messages, you must delete some messages. Please visit this page to do so:"

    The message didn't get through, so I guess the counter applies now.

    Yes, I am shut back off again. I just tried to send a message and got this:

    Yet during InCo, I was unable to send a PM to several members because their Inboxes were full. And I just got a warning message that mine is full and I won't be able to send or receive.

    So what's the real story?

    When I first installed the plugin the forum software was a different version. When I had filled my inbox back then, I didn't receive any error message. The only thing I can think of is that one of the updates changed the functionality and now the limit still applies.

    If you can't send or receive PMs then you'll have to delete them. There is an archive function that you can download them in various formats before you delete them.

    So as a test I just used the Empty Folder option on both inbox and sent. The result is that the counter shows 0 messages of 100 allowed on both folders BUT all the old messages seem to be there.

    I think that the error messages folk are getting are just an aberration, misreading the message counter instead of actual messages and emptying the folders resets the counter.

    Hey Jar, you might want to check those PM's again. I have had my PM box fill up since the last upgrade. I deleted everything and the counter returns to zero but the threaded PM's are there. The thing is the threaded PM's have all the responses removed and only my replies or maybe the other way around I have not looked to be sure. It makes for a very confusing threaded PM. Kind of annoying.

    Yup, seems to be true. Of course I've never had a pm so important it mattered I guess.
