Private message storage
Just curious if there is a way to be able to have more than 10 messages in your private message inbox? It says I am full with only 10 messages. Thoughts? Thanks, Blake in Alabama.

Re: Private message storage
Privatge Messaging is limited to 10 stored msgs unless you move them to another folder than your Inbox. (Increasing the size of your Inbox demands excessive memory for the purposes of the Forums. The Inbox is not intended as a permanent storage place for PMs.)

Re: Private message storage
George is correct. Each folder is limited to 10 messages. Each account when created has 3 folders. Inbox, Outbox and Sent Messages. You can create 4 more folder and each of them can hold 10 messages. You can also set the Inbox to delete the oldest message or move it to one of the folders you created. Creating a Older Messages folder and setting the option for the Inbox to move older messages to it automatically will in effect give you up to 20 messages before the system will not accept any more for you.
At this point you could clean out by deleting messages or moving them to another folder or even export them in a csv file which you could open and read in Excel or even Word to name a few applications.
