PM Box Full

[3S16]

Help! I'm old and technologically challenged. My PM box is 100% full, but I only have one PM visible. I don't know how to find and access the the other 69 PM's so I can selectively delete them.

I see from another Office post that you figured it out. This is for the benefit of others who may encounter the same issue.

Members have two mailboxes (folders), an "inbox" and a "sent messages folder". Click on "Private Messages" (top right of any page) and you'll see a drop-down menu labeled "Jump to Folder". This allows you to toggle between the two. Message limits are based on Donation status and non-contributing members are limited to 25 messages. This limit is the combined total of the Inbox and Sent Messages folders.

You can set the default (whether or not to save a copy of your sent messages) in your user profile. Click UserCP (upper left from any page) and then click "Edit Options". Choose your settings, scroll down and click "Save Changes". You can also individually decide when creating or responding to a PM, by using the checkbox below the message window.

There are multiple ways to delete messages.
- You can open each message individually, scroll to the bottom and follow the delete prompts.
- You can also selectively group delete messages, without opening them. Go to the desired folder and click the small white boxes to the right of the messages you wish to delete. Selected messages will highlight. Clicking the uppermost checkbox selects all messages on that page. Once you've made your selection, scroll down and you'll find a "Selected Messages" menu on the right. Choose the "Delete" option" from the menu and click "Go".
